Yesterday, Boucle and I visited the east end of Toronto on the lake, the Scarborough Bluffs for our excursion of the weekend.
And I remembered the first time Boucle and I visited the Bluffs, on a cold December day in 2007, when Boucle was 1.5 years old. He was so young, and it was the first time I tied him to a pole and walked away (a few feet) to take a pic. He was afraid I was leaving him…..abandoning him….and he whimpered and cried.
I was really only a few feet away, but he felt is was forever away.
Yesterday, we visited again. And I thought, as I saw the pole, that I should take a pic again of sweetie-pie. Then and now. Now, no whimpering. Now, no leash needed for him to stay when I say stay. Such a good dog.
So much happiness in all these years together…….
…when Boucle was a small puppy, the first time I turned on the blow dryer after giving him a bath…..
…he got so scared that he slipped out of my hands…….
… raced at top speed out the bathroom……
…around the corner
…and straight through the screen……like an action star……..
…poor sweetie-pie…..
…he was so lucky that it was summer and the patio door was open……
…made by Boucle……..for Boucle……..
I have the replacement since that time, but each spring I see how much he enjoys the easy in and out, that I leave it the way it is……..just for him…….
…action star……..sweetie-pie……..
…sweetie-pie’s happiness and joy is contagious……
….seeing the world through the wonder of Boucle’s eyes and soul……
…Boucle is now bravely going into the water whenever he can….
…and he walked through the water to get to this sandbar……
….so many new discoveries……..so many new adventures…….
…Beautiful Boucle…..
…Burlington Beach…..
….Lake Ontario…….
…sweetie-pie at the lake……..
Sweetie-pie having a great time with a stick….
…Burlington Beach……..
…early Sunday morning…….
…big lake…….little Boucle…….
…and a stick…….
We went back to the lake early this morning. But closer to home. It was early and quite cool, especially since the sun was just coming up. 13C. No one was there, but sweetie-pie, me and the birds.
As it got a bit warmer, sweetie-pie bravely fetched some sticks from the water. He loved it. He has the stick in this image.
Boucle had a wonderful time on a beautiful fall morning……..
There are so many pesky squirrels out this fall.
Boucle is often looking up………
…as he hears the pitter patter of their feet on the wires……..
