Ears... ^oo^

I don't quite know what the deal is with my ears.

This is what happens every time I go to the off leash dog park in Halifax.

There they go lifting me off the ground again!

Once they start standing up straight like this,

I usually know there is something up...

in this case, two ears! haha!

....sometimes one or more of my floppers seems to disappear

and before I know it they appear again.

I've got to ask the guys about this!

Queensland Beach...one more time!

OK...today was one big surprise for me and

I want to share it with you!

I truly believed I would never see this beach again this year.

The three of us jumped into the car and headed south.

We spent an hour and a bit on the roads and 

before we knew it we were on Queensland Beach.

 My exuberance was over the top as usual.

I chased my orange ball up and down the beach.

...returning immediately for instant gratification!

This beach is so very popular in the summer with the entire stretch totally covered in sunbaked bodies. 

The guys used to come here in the '70's and now enjoy the vista when it's less crowded.

So...if you are planning a trip to Nova Scotia

you must visit Queensland Beach,

early before 10am is so relaxing and peaceful.

The sound and scent of the gentle waves lingers in your mind

 remaining with you for some time later.

For me, of course, anytime is the right time!

Not Quite Winter Yet ;-)

This morning Ron and I headed out to the backyard 

for my morning constitution.

I did some sniffing...

I was awake at 5am due to an ear ache.

Jim took me out 

and so I thought I should check out my property

'cause I'm sure I smelled some mighty strange smells out here earlier!

Pretty much everything gets the once over when I'm on a mission.

Once I made certain the coast was clear

I grabbed a stick and away I went.

can't see me, eh!

Here I come...watch out!

A few shakes for my problem ear added in....

Then a rest after all that foolishness!

and by the way, I heard all your pleas to be patient for winter

and guess what I'm listening.

Header transformation...

 from this

to this

to this

et voila! 

With winter around the corner, I asked dad to get my blog ready

for the onslaught of snow, wind and snow angels.

He said, "Why Sophie I will do anything you want,

even if it means we have to see lots of white for awhile."

I said, " That's just fine with me.

I love snow and especially making snow angels

As of today, we've only seen a couple flakes

so I guess I'll have to be patient....come on winter"!

Prairie Oyster - Did You Fall in Love With Me

Time for some more singing and dancing!
It's very addictive!
It's just one of those things.

Hope you like it!

It's Time to DANCE!!!!

My dads really like this western Canadian band's music!

Every time they hear it,

they grab me and begin singing and dancing.

So have a listen and enjoy!

"Prairie Oyster - She Won't Be Lonely Long"

and here's proof!

Yeah...I know there are other definitions for Prairie Oysters,
but their music is what we like!
Hope you do as well!

Through the Window!

As I sat patiently in the kitchen window,

I noticed the comings and goings next door.

My neighbour, if you didn't already know, 

is the veterinarian in this area.

Dr. Julia Weste and friends 

They have taken care of me from day one.

<<<<>>>>

The guys actually left me alone as I watched them go next door.

What's going on? 

(and may I add....)

What's going on without me?

Looks like food and celebration!

I was right!

After a time of renovations,

the refurbished clinic is having an 'Open House'

Ron is talking to Dr. Zia and Dr. Weste

during the Open House

This is Lori, Michele and Angela                                  Gloria                                        Bucky--the builder guy

                                                             Dr. Julia Weste and her daughter Natalie are really great with me and my friends. Sometimes I get them mixed up. Yes, there is definitely a resemblance!

This is my gang next door and I feel so safe knowing they are close by. You never know when I may need to go there for something other than sniffing!

Deja Vu!

I do remember being here before.

There's just something about the smell, sounds, tastes, sights and how it felt.

I remember the smell...

I remember the sounds....

I remember the taste...

I remember what I saw...

and I remember how I felt then...

So contented and at peace.

I hope this finds you in the same space.

This was FAST!

A couple days ago,

I told you Ron won a photo contest

with this picture...

Well today his prize arrived 

after two nights of deliberating over 78 different styles.

This Keen Brand called Newport Trail WP is super comfortable

and light weight for those 60+ year olds!

As you can see..

he dragged me outside,

then snapped a few pics

and back inside I preceeded 

to fall asleep on the most comfortable shoes/boots ever.

There is only so much a puppy can take with this

'winning contest stuff' !

Zzzzzz

Two crows JOY!

Last week we arrived at PPP(Point Pleasant Park)...

before 10am...

...did you hear!...

before 10 in the morning!

That means we are allowed to walk along the lower road

near the shoreline and harbour.

Halfway around we find a large grassy area 

with a huge and I mean huge...anchor 

which appears to be sticking out of the ground!

Should I ask questions?

or just chase my ball.

I chose the latter, naturally!

An anchor is an anchor, right!?

 So I passed the anchor and kept on going.

 and then I noticed a crow

 It was sitting on this piece of driftwood

very alert and alone...

 but hey, what's that?

There are two crows!

You know what this means....

One crow...sorrow

Two crows...joy!

 As you can see...

My JOY is at the beach

sniffing and searching for 

that one special something...

that could be just about anything that smells great!
