…after sweetie-pie saw me pack the backpack…..
…a sure sign that we are going to the lake……
…and now I just slowed the whole thing down by wanting to take his picture……
….let’s go….let’s go……..
He had a great time this morning at the lake……well worth the wait for sweetie-pie…….

Wishing you all a warm and happy Thanksgiving!
Yesterday, Boucle and I visited the east end of Toronto on the lake, the Scarborough Bluffs for our excursion of the weekend.
And I remembered the first time Boucle and I visited the Bluffs, on a cold December day in 2007, when Boucle was 1.5 years old. He was so young, and it was the first time I tied him to a pole and walked away (a few feet) to take a pic. He was afraid I was leaving him…..abandoning him….and he whimpered and cried.
I was really only a few feet away, but he felt is was forever away.
Yesterday, we visited again. And I thought, as I saw the pole, that I should take a pic again of sweetie-pie. Then and now. Now, no whimpering. Now, no leash needed for him to stay when I say stay. Such a good dog.
So much happiness in all these years together…….
…when Boucle was a small puppy, the first time I turned on the blow dryer after giving him a bath…..
…he got so scared that he slipped out of my hands…….
… raced at top speed out the bathroom……
…around the corner
…and straight through the screen……like an action star……..
…poor sweetie-pie…..
…he was so lucky that it was summer and the patio door was open……
…made by Boucle……..for Boucle……..
I have the replacement since that time, but each spring I see how much he enjoys the easy in and out, that I leave it the way it is……..just for him…….
…action star……..sweetie-pie……..
…sweetie-pie’s happiness and joy is contagious……
….seeing the world through the wonder of Boucle’s eyes and soul……
