…Boucle in front of parasailers………..

We visited the Lake yesterday afternoon, spur of the moment as the weather was so fine.  And we came across parasailers who had the same idea.

I asked sweetie-pie to sit , trying to get the sailing action behind him.  He was so good.  He sat, even though he really wanted to sit the other way, and watch the sail in the sky.

…such a good Boucle……

…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.

….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…..  🙂

…looking down the very long pier …….on a beautiful day…….

Part of yesterday’s excursion was this very long pier.  Boucle was curious and wanted to walk to the end of it to see what was there.  We saw small sailboats with children inside learning to sail, making all the laughing and summer sounds.  We saw some geese feeding along the side, and a couple of swans too.  It is a beautiful straight and very wide pier.

(Boucle’s leash is cloned out).
