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……..
Sweetie-pie at lunch hour.

…Boucle couldn’t resist getting into the shot…… 🙂
…sweetie-pie loves the sounds of the lake…….
…he loves to hear the geese honking as they fly……
…and looks up and watches…..
…and when we hear geese fly above at the house…….
…he imagines and remembers the lake…
…and how the geese honk and fly above…….
….happiness for sweetie-pie at the lake…….
…Boucle was so happy to go to the lake very early this morning….
…he saw a monarch butterfly on the sand……
…and a swan family on the lake….two adults and two teenagers…….
…of course there were the ducks and the geese….
…big rushing noisy waves…….
…and the beautiful morning light and beach……
…sweetie-pie happiness……..
I love this one.
It is us. Boucle is on the leash, but you can see how relaxed he is with his adorable ears flat. I just love his shadow in this one. As for me…..well…….that is certainly not how I really look……the big hump is a backpack, I am wearing a large loose fleece hoody as the morning was cool. But the hat is me, especially if it were profiled in such a way that it didn’t look so Mountie like. 🙂
But I still love it….it is us.
…beautiful Boucle at the lake early Sunday morning……..
…sweetie-pie has never gone in the lake… he doesn’t even like to get his toes wet and would walk away from the water’s edge…..and he is 8 year old…..
….yesterday morning, was a very big morning for Boucle……..
…we were standing on the beach and there was a slab of concrete in the water about 6 feet in. The sun was shining on its surface and Boucle seemed curious about it. So I stood at the edge of the water…..and he put his toes in.
…that in itself was very brave of Boucle……
…then he put his foot in…..looking at the slab a ways out…..
…you could see that he wanted to get there, was curious about it, but didn’t want to wade into the water……
…so I stood there, on the edge, for about 10 minutes……and let him slowly dip his toes, then his feet into the water….closer and closer to the slab. Another 10 minutes of standing there while he went in and out of the water, behind me on the sand and then around back into the water. I did not take photos of this, even though I wanted to, because I didn’t want to distract him from his bravery…..
….finally, he was deep enough, over his knees to get to the slab and make it up…..after a few minutes up there, I started taking pictures…….
….you can see how tentative and brave he was…….
….and then further down the beach…….he went in to his underbelly to try to get to a floating tennis ball….
….he didn’t go out to it, and stopped pretty much where he was in the photo, but still, to get that far, was very brave…….
…so now….I will probably have a hard time keeping sweetie-pie out of the water…..
…such a brave good boy…..
…and what a wonderful morning for sweetie-pie.. 🙂
…beautiful Lake Ontario on a gorgeous morning…….
Boucle’s nose is surrounded with beef cooking aromas wafting in the air…….
….he is not moving…….
….no matter what……
….normally he will follow me around the house…..
….but not when there is beef cooking……
….then he stays right around it…..
….making sure that he gets his share…….
….and doesn’t miss his share…..
….he is not moving……
yesterday……….
….sweetie-pie did get his beef…..
….it was all worth it! 🙂 ……..
…sweetie-pie yesterday morning…….
…lots of fog…..
…he loved it……..
…Beautiful Lake Ontario – Port Credit…..
