ALL'S SUPER OK!!

People have been asking 

"How's Sophie doing?"

"What happened anyway?"

"Is she going to be OK?"

~

Well here we are high on MacDonald Hill taking Sophie for a run

after seeing our new VET Ms. Shannon!

It seems that a deep fold on Sophie's lower left lip

has become infected causing much consternation and DOODLEFICATION!

For the next 2 weeks, daily cleansing in the morning with a magic solution and cream

plus magic cream in the evening will take care of this 'not uncommon' situation.

It seems to be very effective 

because Sophie's discomfort has diminished 

and her immediate reaction which is 

no reaction, 

no scraping her lip, 

no whining, 

and 

with much anticipated restful sleeps now. 

Sophie is so over-joyed 

so happy

so beyond herself

that she can not control her exuberance on the hill.

See ~~~

 ~~ she is so sorry she knocked Daddy Jim out of his crouching stance onto his keester ~~

HONEST!!

She is just so 

OVER THE TOP OF THE WORLD 

"HAPPY"!!

JUST SIMPLE CONTENTMENT

Once over the rocks we headed for the river,

flanked by MacDonald House 

 looking very much like Wuthering Heights.

We stopped to dig holes

because Stony Beach is made for "HOLE DIGGIN' " !

Running full speed ahead with an eye on the edge

because the tide is gouging away the sides

of the river as it always does when it is going out.

Here is Jim helping nature eat away at the edge.

While he does that I swim and I fetch.

Far off in the distance in that small beach pool,

everything is viewed under the watchful eye of a heron.

There s/he goes silently over the waters

heading for the salt marsh on the other side of the hill.

Contentment really is all I seek out

and contentment is what I always find.

The sun sets much earlier as we step into fall,

so it's time to retire

and 

talk over the day's events

as we head home

just down the road.

What do we have here..hazard a guess?!!!

I thought everyone needs a break from jumping and hopping, no matter how you interpret that, sooooo.......What do we have here?....give me your best guess.....while you're doing that I'll dig a hole....sorry OCD!

Now while you guess I'll dig!

I think I have enough time to finish this hole before DJ is outta sight...!!!
Any good guesses?
