…hmmmm…….do I like this new sweater for winter?……….

… A good sniff……..

… and a good lick to see if it is tasty……..

Yes Jane!  I could wear this beautiful snazzy new hoody sweater.

Dear Boucle….sadly I have to return it as the neck has a fixed thread and doesn’t stretch.  I only noticed it while putting it on your head to try it on.  The rest was so cute and fit just fine, and you looked so handsome in it….but..it is going back.  I will find an even nicer new sweater for you for this winter.

…sweetie-pie – on the trail………

…sweetie-pie was so excited to visit the park.  The previous post was him arriving at this waterfront park.  So now he is here and just loves following me along the trails, with the wind blowing and the noisy waves of the Lake below.

…sweetie-pie……..

…such a wonderful day, Boucle needs the occasional thirst quenching drink…….

I love the view from the back, with his ear dangling…….

Yesterday was a gorgeous summer day and Boucle and I spent it outside gardening.  Boucle would sit under the umbrella and maple tree and watch me dig.  From time to time, he would come and sniff to check it all out.  And then head up to the deck for a good slurp of water……..mmmmmmm delicious!…

…sweetie-pie………

See Boucle in Action…Video – sweetie-pie roughing up his doggie.

I have an old Canon P&S with video and decided to pull it out and try to shoot Boucle.

This is my beautiful Boucle – sweetie-pie. With his doggie. This doggie sleeps with him everynight, despite getting roughed up by sweetie-pie.

..poor doggie…..but the doggie will forget, and be back sleeping with Boucle tonight.

Still not sure how to get the video into this blog.

….Boucle meeting Archie…..Archie just wants his stick!………

Boucle  was excited to meet Archie.  But Archie had other things on his mind, he really wanted to play fetch the stick!

See Archie GO!……chasing his stick!

Archie’s owner said that Archie used to not like going into the water, and would only get his feet wet.  Then one day Archie’s owner threw a stick into the water.  Archie chased the stick, and loved fetching.  So much that when Archie’s owner arrives and puts his first foot on the sandy beach, Archie is impatient for him to throw the stick, and will chase it into the water over and over again.

Archie now has eyes only for the stick, and has no interest in other dogs, when there is a beach and a stick.  Go Archie!  🙂

…going after the stick……….

Boucle thinks that fetch of a stick, does not mean bringing it back!

When I have the stick in my hand, ready to throw, he gets all excited, making these funny lamb sounds.  I throw the stick and he goes tearing after it, as fast as his legs will go.  And then he stops, sniffs it, and comes back, without the stick….very pleased with himself and happy and ready for another throw! 🙂

…this morning at the lake….
…oh sweetie-pie…..  🙂

…awww sweetie-pie…..all safe and snug……….

This is sweetie pie with his seatbelt.  He is sitting on one of those foam dog beds, so he is snug and safe.  The belt has drifted a little, as I don’t like it too tight, because then he can’t sit comfortably.

He has been wearing one since he was a baby, so he is very used to it.  And it has saved my sweetie-pie many times from being lurched forward when I have had to brake suddenly.

…snug sweetie-pie…….
