Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
My fiance, my mother, and I found these ducks waddling along in the 1500 block of Francois rd. We then proceeded to follow them all the way to the riverfront, stopping traffic on all the major roads, to ensure their safe arrival at Goose Bay Park! Thank you to everyone else who helped out along the way!! The ducks made it safely into the water :)
Amy, working the counter for westjet at windsor airport. On Sunday I was set to travel from Windsor to Edmonton. An hour before my flight I got a call telling me my brother in laws father had passed away. I came into the airport and asked if I could delay my flight and Amy said it wouldn't be a problem. She put me on Mondays flight out and just asked I come in and look for her Monday at 2:30 when checking in. I arrived to the airport today and went to check in. Amy was there to help me with a smile and asking me if everything worked out ok with the passing. I had originally booked the exit row seat for myself because I'm a bigger guy and need the leg room. Amy noticed it was already reserved, so without any hesitation she just put me in the front row seats at no extra charge(bigger seats more leg room). I just want to thank Amy and Westjet for always being so awesome every time I travel with them. I travel a lot for work and I am on westjet 80% of my flights and this is not the first time they made me feel amazing. So again Amy thank you. You have been spotted
I found a grey puppy and black one both walking in forest glade/ lauzon area. I'm not sure what kind of dogs they are but they are small. Please call or email if you know the owners. 2263449604
I just want to write a little note to the man who approached my husband the other day at the school grounds in the west end while he was out training our dogs. Your hostile approach is what caused the crazy fiasco to happen. My one belgian malinois has some issues with socialization, now he is not aggressive in the least but he can seem it with his over excited anxiety in meeting new people and dogs. He often freaks out, barking and jumping around and acting like he is going to charge other people and animals. he would never hurt another human or animal and really just wants to say hello but because he does not know how to approach the situation my husband must take a training approach and calm him down. You witnessed this approach but you did not see what he was doing and your assumption that he "punched" his dog caused you to fly off the handle and come charging over at him screaming and yelling that you were going to punch my husband. two of his friends were with him and witnessed your hostile behavior. First of all, my husband made his dog lay down on his side and poked him (NOT punched him)... it is a technique that snaps the dogs attention off of whatever he is fixated on...when you get poked you automatically think "what was that for" also right? either way your approach of screaming and yelling, swearing and threatening is grounds for getting bit. My female is trained in personal protection, if she would have seen you approach that way she would have bit you and it would have been your fault... its funny how you called the cops on my husband but you were the one threatening. I suggest you calm down. if you would have approached my husband, who is a dog trainer, and asked him what he was doing he could have explained it to you and you would have known it was not a big deal... but you insisted on charging at him in fit of fury... you have been spotted, and I suggest you grow up a little bit. As my title says hostile approach will almost always equal a hostile return. there was a much better way to handle that. How immature.

To the woman who screamed and jumped as we walked past you down at the waterfront on Friday evening. I was having a calm, relaxing walk with my Dutch Shepherd and three of my young grandchildren. As I saw you and your group of lady friends coming toward us, I had my three grandchildren get in line behind me so your group had lots of room to pass by. Some of your friends moved to the path above us. There were two paths at that point. The moment you got beside my dog, you look down at him as if you'd just noticed he was there. You screamed at the top of your lungs and jumped backwards. My dog had looked at you and then looked away. Absolutely nothing more. I kept walking about ten feet and stopped. I turned back to you and asked what was wrong. You screamed and jumped again! I was shocked by your behaviour. I asked you again what was wrong. You acted like you were to scared to answer. One of your friends answered for you. She said you were afraid of dogs. I told you my dog was leashed, calmly walking by my side, minding his own business. Even when you screamed he ignored you. Your friends thought your behaviour was quite comical, they all knew why you were screaming, so obviously this is something you have done on more than one occasion. Your behaviour was completely unacceptable. You were mature women, not young girls. You could have moved to the path above us if you are so terrified of dogs. Your behaviour is going to get you bit by a dog one day and it won't be the dog's fault. It will be your fault. Your scream scared me and my grandchildren, not my dog. That type of irrational behaviour doesn't faze him. But one day you are going to scare the wrong dog. Not everyone is a responsible dog owner with a well behaved dog. You have been spotted. Please heed the warning.
Local Author taking world by storm, and I mean that literally. Gracie Wilson has not only self published but after only a few weeks of that pulled everything from the selves and amazon to have it redone with a publisher out of the states.
It's nice to see someone doing something locally like this, putting windsor on the map in the literal world. She will even be on the radio at the end of next month according to her page.
She is a 25 year old, all her life local to windsor. She isn't hiding any of that and proudly states where she is from and is active in the community.
I've read the book since it just came out from the publisher on May 18th and let me tell you this will not be the only times we hear about her. This girl is going to be around in the world of authors for a very long time. Each page was just as thrilling as the next. I throughly look forward to seeing what she has coming out next.
Send our Local girl Gracie Wilson some windsor love!
Hummingbirds birds are amazing creatures, so small and fast.
It's easy to see them if you have a hummingbird feeder, but very difficult to spot them if you don't.
I was lucky enough to capture this footage of one at rest on a tree branch.
