Hamster Dancin' Around the World

The teacher for Wednesday night was going to see the Bellydance Superstars on tour down the street, so Ioana taught.

ehBeth said Ioana was her very first teacher - and that Ioana had a baby partway through that group of classes!

This ... click ... is a link to a clip of Ioana dancing. She's a wonderful dancer and has a great sense of humour about how she dances and teaches.

I watched the class from this spot

Here I am with ehBeth's friend, Jen.

Jen is in both of ehBeth's classes right now - apparently she goes to something like 8 or 9 dance classes a week Shocked

Jen is wearing a tank top that one of her grand-daughter's painted for her.

They sure know how to have fun there.
They work hard, but they laugh a lot too.

We're like girlfriends now.

ehBeth was quite surprised how well we get on.

Cleo's not always been the friendliest. I heard the people talk about how Cleo's socialization has been going verra well.

this shot is really quite amazing - Cleo's got her right foreleg around Penny! She really likes the little hamster.

You're right Walter, Penny's very photogenic and lots of people want to be in photos with her. There are more photos of her on cellphones ... I'm trying to arrange to have them deposited in the second facebook album.

Phew ... I'm beat.

The little dogs are snoozing. I don't know why I have to stay awake and post.

Confused

This afternoon we went to The Brickworks ... click

It's a really neat place.

The dogs really like to visit.

There's a really big fenced-in area at the front called The Dog Patch, where the dogs can run off leash and get good and muddy.

You can drive there or you can get a ride on a shuttle bus

We drove.

Here I am, sitting on the dashboard of ehBeth's car

Here you can see me (barely) in the entrance piece (it's apparently supposed to be a piece of art) - and ehBeth's shadow

The Brickworks really once was a brick factory. A lot of houses in Toronto are made of red brick.

The building behind me in this photo is part of the old factory AND is made of the Toronto red brick (so is the wall I'm sitting on).
