They are so irresponsible to have two dogs: they are often gone, and leave their dogs always alone and without walks.

Just their tiny yard.

I spoke to my mother who was doing well, doing crosswords while dad was asleep. Rain in Montréal today. It was 22 degres yesterday and full sun, while they went maple sugaring at the maple cabin of their friends and cousins, in the eastern townships. I took Brian once to a place like that. It is too bad it was only once.
