Just a 90 Minute Ride!

I learned so much while vacationing

on PEI this year.

Sit, stay

 and 

you'll get Mr. Orangie!

(check under Daddy Jim's foot)

I learned that if I point my ears

like Spock

I can zero in on Daddy Jim...

Also, that sand dunes are beautiful

but  there wasn't  a chance of reaching them

because that blue water near the rocks 

was a channel with a hefty current.

I could run literally for miles(kms)

along the shoreline without needing to stop...ever!

That mounds of seaweed aren't a deterrent

at all

it just adds to the discovery 

of  stick people.

and that shadows can make really cool pictures

(is Daddy Ron holding me up by my hind legs?)

We decided to take the ferry home

from PEI to Nova Scotia.

The weather was picture perfect

blue skies with wisps of white clouds

however the water was rolling a bit 

and some people were making a big deal of it.

"Is it always this rough?"

was the most common question.

Does it look rough?

Not really.

The ladders were all  rolled up ready to be deployed if need be.

The 90 minute ride was over

faster than you spell

Daddy Jimbo hunkered down

for a well-deserved photo session...

and didn't let the rocking and rolling 

bother him in the least.

All this...!

while

I just snoozed away

down on the car deck

without a care in the world.

Dreaming of Prince Edward Island....!

the land of Anne of Green Gables

and 

red beaches!

Now this is a sunset!

Hurricane Leslie definitely churned her way

passed PEI the following day after our arrival.

Which made really no difference to me,

because Mr. Orangie can float and I can see him like a beacon.

The sun was setting rather quickly this evening,

I suspect it always does

but it just seemed so fast for what I'm used to.

See what I mean....Mr. Orangie is always visible it seems.

I took advantage of the descending light...

and made sure I was going to sleep well tonight.

PEI...seems to have an ethereal feeling

whether travelling the roads

or galloping through the warm waters along the shoreline.

This evening was very special as Jim and I sauntered along the sands....

the sun's rays were smothering the land

while I smelled the seaweed and Jim captured this view.

Sometimes you just have to watch

and let the words melt into the horizon.

Patience Payoff

This is what greeted me when we arrived on the island....

My cousin, Shelby was head over heels 

HAPPY

now that she had someone to fetch with....

Shelby had gone to Nova Scotia 

for a few days,

 so when I arrived on PEI

I had to practice 

~~~patience~~~

Do you know what that's like?!

I practiced on this beach....

and this beach

near these windbreaks

and in the back seat of the car

as we passed this Belgian.

I even entertained Daddy Jim 

and Auntie Marilyn...

I guess they were amused.

As you can see Shelby and I really know

how to have a good time.

Give us a lawn and a ball

and doggy camaraderie

is reinforced.  

and you know what....?

I didn't forget how to play our summer game

even if a couple toys got mangled.

Thanks Shelby

You Prairie Girls

are the best!

Rejuvenation

Thanks, many thanks to my cousin Shelby, the Border Collie

for inviting us over the waters to

Prince Edward Island.

This is the beach I played on 

all last week.

I just wanted you to know

we are just fine

after R and R

on this beautiful, quiet and peaceful island.

Enjoy this view of one of our sunset walks...

there's is definitely more to come.

Come back soon!

Take that, fear!
