…normally Boucle is not on a leash on this trail, but we had just come across another dog who was on a leash……
…so Boucle was on a leash…
…and then he spotted a bunny…
…before I saw it of course…..
…and I said ‘stop’……
…and sweetie-pie stopped………
…and then he watched it hop away…..
…and just at the moment when the bunny started his hop…….
…Boucle went after him…..
…but of course…
…it was too late…..
…he knew……
…he knew we were going to Burlington Beach……….
…such a smart poodle……..
…he knew the moment I pulled out the backpack….
…his excitement growing…..
…more burbling sounds………
…then sweetie-pie talking…..
…when I pulled out the picnic pack…..
…his talking grew higher….and louder…
…jumping in excitement….
…he loves going to Burlington Beach…….
…he sits in the back seat, in the middle so he can see all around through the car windows…….
…and throughout the car ride his head would go from one side to the other…..looking out the window……
…watching the trucks on the highway go by……
…waiting to get to the beach…..
…and here he is……..
…happiness on the beach……
…as good a time as he had hoped it would be…….
…beautiful Boucle………..
…Boucle the explorer…..
…so sweetie-pie and I had the fun filled morning at the lake, with Boucle running up and down the beach with the stick….
…later that day…we headed out to a local street festival…..
…but found it wasn’t much….
…so I turned the car around and went back to the lake……..a different waterfront park…..
…and we did a nice walk…..
…sweetie-pie in front of the Toronto skyline…..
…he was completely tuckered out from such a big day….
…happiness….
…he had so much fun……
…such an action star!……….
…beautiful Boucle…….
…sweetie-pie…
….happiness after visiting the lake………
…on his way home………
….beautiful Boucle……..
…one of the thrilling parts of going to the beach is the sniffing…..
…every time we go….there are different things to sniff……..
…sweetie-pie………
…something caught sweetie-pie’s eye………
…oblivious to the fetching going on further down the beach…….
…the black lab was such a good fetcher……..
…Lake Ontario…….Toronto skyline…….
…a dog……….and a stick……
….he sees people…..and he bounds towards them in happiness………
….they had a dog….dog people are happy at the beach……
…he then greets them….doesn’t linger and bounds back to me……..
….happiness this morning at the lake……
P.S. some blurry shots (autofocus not focusing on the most important element – Boucle!) but I just love his sense of freedom and happiness……
