TAKING MY MIND OFF THINGS

It's been a very long and stressful week in my harbour,

so I took a break and spent some time at day care .

Seeing Ron come pick me up a few hours later,

after I was so very zonked from swimming and doggy playing

was the best feeling ever.

OWEN and I 

sang so many songs 

of

"Come In and Join Us"

so we showed Ron around 

all the "green green grass" of OWEN's home.

I nosyed up to Mr. Horsey

and played NOSES with him.

A bit of a size difference there.

Dontcha think?

While Miss ShowOff Vizsla

touched noses.

What's that all about !?!

The day was truly splendid as you can see 

with all these Helianthemum blowing in the breeze.

Thanks Mary for a great day

and 

for helping me 

put this week behind me and us.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Walking through the low grasses along the boardwalk at Conrad's Beach

I realized

that I needed

to let everyone know

that Daddy Jim saw his Dr today

and tonight is the big test with a slight tweek to a med he takes.

FINGERS CROSSED

and

BTW

THANK YOU

EVERYONE

for sending all those positive cyber-vibes.

They are doing their thing.

BRIGHTNESS UNDER THE CLOUDS

The heaviness of dark, overhanging clouds

fittingly describes our world at present.

The light is at the end of tunnel

and

we are heading forward.

My joy is to take care

attend to

care for

help feel better

Daddy Jim's unexpected return of silent migraines

have made us stumble

but

we will survive this obstacle

with renewed vigour

for LIFE !

SOON!

EYE ON THE PRIZE

Here's the deal 

~~~ Take care of Jim ~~~

(by keeping an eye on him 

at the yard sale on the weekend)

and he'll take GOOD care of me !!

BULLY STICKS & a NEW LEASH 

DOUBLE YAY !!

I'M FREEeeeeeeeeeee

Life is treating me just fine !

I am FREE

I am taking it all in.

I am racing up and down the aisles of PetValu.

Can you keep up?

Ron tried !!

LOL

ALL TO MY OWN

Well, it would appear I have the entire beach to myself today.

I have the beautiful rocks ~~~ all shades of the rock spectrum.

I have the beach sand ~~ a beautiful shade of copper.

I have the ocean ~~~ calm, serene, with an occasional wave slipping in to tease me.

REMEMBER ~~~ my world is your world !

NAMASTE

SHORN & HAPPYMANIA

My fuzzy wuzzies have all gone

 'bye bye'.

I'm sleek and slender again.

No more waiting around for me to dry

because the water doesn't cling 

when I'm shorn.

Seriously though,

 my eye is on the prize,

there in front of me

not that nifty sailboat

but ~~~

that mystery thingie bobbing around.

Now you see it,

 don't you ?

Yes, we all have our obsessions

and I'll be the first to admit

to my mania

MR.ORANGIEMANIA !!

ANTICIPATING JIM

I'm in the city of Halifax today 

following Ron

 around the Public Gardens

while Jim attends to an appointment.

Come along with me 

as I look occasionally through 

the wrought iron bars

wondering what it would be like to jump in that pond  < (click to see the pond )

with the ducks.

Still don't understand the 

"No Dogs Allowed" Policy !

Such is city life,

but hey look at that cool RED school bus.

The driver thought Ron was someone famous,

and asked him his name and 

what he did for a living.

I told the driver he was my Dad

and that he didn't work at CBC TV !

Imagine !

 Further around 2 more corners,

we ran into these horses cantering up the street

with tourists aboard.

I really like seeing these large "dog wannabees"

taking up space on the road.

Don't you?

There's that spot of grass we sat on

 for the Pride Parade at the end of July.

I had so much fun that day.

OK, Jim that's about all I can handle !

Where are you ?

OH there you are !

I thought you took off with the horses.

I feel so much better now.

SURPRISE VISIT to BAKERY PARADISE

Would you just look,

I jumped out of the car 

and 

am heading to a very familiar place.

But first, I must "SIT" and look both ways before I cross the street.

Now that was EASY !

I can smell something delicious and delectable just up ahead.

 My bakery, my bakery for dogs, my Three Dog Bakery

my time to sniff and INHALE the luscious aromas

of freshly baked doggy goods

like muffins, cookies, and snacks.

How's this for being super alert

and

GOOD 

in bakery paradise!!

( my tail tells it all )

You know I think I'm in love with

The Three Dog Bakery Lady.

Wouldn't you ?

There now I feel full in so many ways

with my lip smacking FIX.

BRA ALERT !!!!

I saw all these BRAS strung across the MacDonald Bridge today.

These bras look like people walking

How ironic.

These bras started on the Halifax side of the bridge

and

hung blowing in the breeze 

all the way across 

1.3 kms (.84mi )

to the Dartmouth side.

all colours and lots of them

the cool thing 

is that the fog hung in

and made the colours more vibrant.

Fog can be a

good thing.

So you are asking me "What's with all the bras?"

Well, if you go to this link  CLICK HERE

you'll see how many bras brought in $11,088

for 

Breast Cancer

I'M OUTTA HERE ~~~ LOL

OK, I bet you wonder what's going on here ?

Who's stooped over?

and 

Why?

Well, it's Ron ~~~ LOL 

He had to clean my "whoop de do"

for some reason.

Now he stares at his hands.

Too funny !!

Come on Jim, let's get outta here !!
