…Boucle and I visited a lakefront park in Oakville this morning….
…this is a lovely area with a couple of wolf statues.  In real life, they are huge, coming up to my waist….
…sweetie-pie used to be afraid to go into the area and would refuse to look at them…
…even after sniffing…..
…he has been here before….so now hardly notices them at all…….

…beautiful Boucle……..

…he loves having me throw sticks……..
…he always races after it at full speed….
…ears flopping up and down…..so excited and happy that he is chasing a stick……..
…but he rarely brings it back….
…he will pick it up….look at me very proudly…….drop it…….
…and then head back to me…..
…thinking that is exactly what he is supposed to do…….
…here sweetie-pie is….proudly racing back to me…..his job is done……

…sweetie-pie….
…this afternoon at the lake……..

…happiness…..
