…splash splash….thunk thunk….splash….

This puppy was just learning to swim.  He had been with his person who had him on a leash in the shallow water, and they practiced.
Finally, the person let go of the leash and let the puppy go.
And boy did he go!
Lots of splashing and thunking as he made his way to shore.

One proud puppy person too………

…Boucle and me…….. Brant Street Pier…….

Boucle and I spent a wonderful morning yesterday.  We visited The Beachway Beach, Burlington Beach and walked over to the Brant Street Pier in Burlington.

I think it is new because I didn’t notice it the last time I was there a couple of years ago.  Visit my blog for a look at the pier.

Sweetie-pie had a wonderful time and was a very happy poodle after so much walking and seeing and sniffing new things.

…Boucle the explorer……….

Boucle loves going ahead and exploring…..

He likes to check everything and everyone out……..

Sniffing and looking……

Often a little unsure of what it is all about………

Until he has gotten close and sniffed……..

And then onto the next new thing……
