“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY’S POSEIDON ADVENTURE

RORY’S POSEIDON ADVENTURE

Bob and I watched “The Poseidon Adventure” with Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine and Shelley Winters the other day on Turner Classic Movies. A passenger ship sinking!

We are in the midst of a blizzard starting last night and continuing into the afternoon. As Bob says, “A real old-fashioned Canadian blizzard!”

Oh JOYOUS SNOW!

Bob opened the sliding door to the backyard and out I ventured as I sunk like a leaking ship into the snow. For a moment I was like a submarine in “Das Boot” or a tank under the river in “Der Tiger” with my nose like a periscope! I managed to pee and rushed back in not wishing to be completely submerged and sink to the bottom. I was not blubbering in fear like Shelley Winters and Bob was no gruff and belligerent Ernest Borgnine trying to save me. WE MADE IT!

Then again plunging into a snowdrift on the front steps. I struggled avoiding the fate of so many on the Titanic. Bob picked me up and we had a jolly walk following the tread marks on the street.

I have heard there is a spring and a summer in Toronto. What are those seasons like?
