TOUCH!

 Some people wonder why I am so huggable...

 Well, I think it's because I'm being TOUCHED all the time...

 seriously, all the time!

 At Xmas with Ron's cousin Anita,

 while playing Trivial Pursuit...

 at the park as we saunter passed my favourite summer swimming section...

 on the dunes after a good run and ball chase....

 receiving my, then new, Mr. Bionic ball at Xmas...

 On top of  MacDonald Hill in the wind with this sepia tone covering me...

and on Conrad's Beach as I come out of the water 

from rinsing the sand off  of Mr. Orangie.

But most of all, when Daddy Jim comes home at noon time

 after taking care of his Dad

for the week day mornings.

~~~

~~~TOUCH~~~

is a very important part of my day,

and like everyone

I respond instantly to it...

Check out my tail!

Heads Up....Spreading the Word!

I know that there are peeps out there

who enjoy my other Dad's blog

OCEAN BREEZES

He is having a giveaway of

*Nova Scotian* booty.

Do you have a gift for expression?

A gift for appreciation?

A gift for mindfulness?

A gift for laughter?

A gift for the glass 1/2 full?

Well then, take a jaunt over 

by clicking the link above (his blog title)...

open up your creative mind

and tell him a good story and

you'll see what he is giving away

to anyone in the world...

HELLO!

You see he's everywhere....!

But mainly walking the Lawrencetown Beach boardwalk with me and Ron.

Looking for subjects...cool ideas
for his blog!

Whether it be Mother Nature making the surfers happy...

or whether it be Me with Mr. BlueWhistleBall
sauntering back to the car after a good run
and a much needed sleep with Mr. Carrot
when I get home....phew(that was long)

The thing is he so appreciates the connections
he has made and wants to express this appreciation
through WORD....so get your thinking caps on
and say something...say anything....everyone is welcome 
to this story telling event!

Bonding 101

High on the dunes with Ron....

while Jim takes this photo.

The action,

anticipation,

the feel of cool weather,

the comradeship,

and

connectedness

all appear

instantly.

Editing potentials are numerous...

some immediate yes's

some just 'ok interesting'

some super faded

changed with an overhead tint tone

some given a posterizing effect

then changed with a new hue

and warmed with a soft rosy glow....

These are all variations on the bonding theme.

Bonding with humans and animals.

Hugs All Around!

Straight up OR on the Rocks!

My rain barrel is ready for me!

A wee bit early this year 

but at least I can quench my thirst

whenever I want!

 but what is this huge coin shaped white disc wedged into the opening?

 Let's get my trusty tongue into this discovery....

 It really seems to be in there for good...

 I thought I saw myself in there...if you cross your eyes...there!

I do know that whatever it is

I likes it "straight up"

because I can lick it

and 

I like it "on the rocks"

because it cools me off

after a good run at the beach!

I thought I saw a Poodle next to us!

I have just jumped back into the car after a walk around the park
with Daddy Jim.

He walks around the car to open the other door to put
my leash on the floor.

As he opens the door...
he says
"Gees, I thought that was a Poodle next to here,
I did!
I just saw the hair!"

It's a quick moment in my life, so quick you have to
turn up the volume
and
watch so very carefully 
at the end of the video.

You may want to play it again
to get the full impact.

Seriously....if Daddy Jim says so,
then it must be true!

Hope you enjoyed!

Sophie eats her SNOW!

Just like being in a fog...
the snow arrives
letting us know
that we shouldn't take
this summer feeling
too seriously...!

It's still only March
in Nova Scotia
and
that having patience
makes you
a stronger puppy!

 Appreciating

April
with its bright
sunny
refreshing days,
is just around the corner
just you wait and see!
