IT'S ALL IN THE LIGHT

I am one puppy that's been blessed.

Being a DOODLE means you have a bunch of mixed up DNA

which when tossed around results in a surprise every time

and in my case one feature really stands out above the rest!

No matter what angle you want to view me

my blond high-lights

seem to attract so much attention.

I always tell those who say something that

"they are free and no I didn't pay for them!"

Of course, I make sure I stand in good light 

to make them that much more spectacular!!

PATIENTLY MELLOWING

High on hill
surveying 360 degrees
I am perched
waiting for the return
of Daddy Jim.

Meanwhile I fetch Mr. O
pant a lot
and cool off in the grass.

I crush you, I crush your head!!

Ahhh, that feels so much better
I crushed Mr. O
and
cooled off at the same time.
I have a big thing for multi-tasking.

I think I need to ZEN-OUT for awhile.

Nice view, eh!?

with kayakers slipping by

a sailboat and lobster boat too

even a helicopter
and look we are above this feller
so you know what that means ~~

my perch is high up 

on top of this old fortress remnants

Jimbo!

I never thought you'd ever return.

Please don't take so long next OK?
(Jim headed over to the northwest side of the park
to hunt for some goodies
while Ron and I mellowed on the east side)

WATER IS MY SIGN

Sometimes OCD is a good thing 

because my affinity for water 

is like the CAMERA is for my Dads.

I love water so much that I could live in it forever.

No kidding!

Now when you see this water as we did yesterday at Birch Cove

wouldn't you want to just jump in 

head first or whatever manner you could muster?

Refreshing

Revitalizing

Rejuvenating

Re-Doodling

It's my world.

And nothing better than a romp through sweet verdant grasses

as I shake shake shake

the lake water off my thick coat.

THANKING MARGIE

Consolation

Trouble cannot keep

me down

When life seems a deep dark

blue

I know a little secret

spring

of  JOY will soon come

chuckling

through....

Thanks to Margie

YOU TALKING TO ME?

So you are talking to me!
No way am I going in that water tonight,
it's just too crazy out there.

The beach sand has all been dragged into the ocean

by the massive wave action.

But look here the parasurfers on Stony Beach

just below MacDonald Hill love the action.

The winds make me want to run along the hill side before salad time.

Now I'll just finish my greens 

while the action revs up

just over the hill from the onslaught of waves.

NEVER A DULL MOMENT

My park world is most times very quiet and peaceful,

however this morning because we arrived earlier than usual

you could feel excitement in the air ~

new friends everywhere.

This is a Labradoodle 

(an Aussie Doodle for sure)

the soft fur coat is like goose down.

(hey there's that 'goose' word again)

I suppose you see that white/black perky looking doggie behind me,

well he is full of vim and vigour

Oh yeah you can take my word on this, for sure.

Sneaking up behind me is 1/2 of a duo of Bouviers!

The other 1/2 just loved sniffing the grass with me.

This "mile a minute" is a rescue doggy 

so fast that the camera could only catch a blurred image.

Here is the piece de resistance!!

A spotted Boxer

Do you think she's a cutie?

Well, I know I do.

Kisses sealed the deal.

So very much for the 'sweetness' to learn

and if the humans wanted I could oblige.

So my world of friends has increased many fold.

Do you think I am a lucky Doodle?

I most certainly do.

One thing though ~~ rumour has it that the non-doggy lovers 

of the world want to change the rules in my park.

I guess it all depends on what they want.

I am open to listening and compromising

because that's what makes the world go around much better.

There is always room for dog lovers to re-educate themselves on the established rules

as well as making the non-dog lovers visits peaceful and relaxed too.

So time will tell,

maybe it's all just rumour 

but there is always room to improve.

AND I know my DOODLE kisses would solve everyone's problems!

It already has daily!!

TO GOOSE OR NOT TO GOOSE

Should I GOOSE him or shouldn't I?

Whattaya think?

He's probably zeroing in on another rock.

What is it with humans and rocks anyway?

Some dogs chew them but not little ol' me!

Sweet nothin's in my ears again!

Oh so, that's what you were taking pictures of.

I promise not to walk on them because they are so fragile looking.

I promise to be better than good.

Look it's the "sea GOOSEberry" again. 

^click to see it on another beach^

Daddy Ron is showing me one that is glittering on his hand.

Aren't they so very special ~~ little globules of reflecting light

and a see-through design.

Ain't Nature Grand!

No stinging or hurting you ~~

just a creature that lives in the ocean

sharing our big beautiful planet.

Once I inspected the "sea GOOSEberry"

Ron placed it back into the ocean just to the right of the rock

in the sand and water.

Can you see how transparent / invisible it almost is?

Just another moment of whether to 

GOOSE OR NOT TO GOOSE.

(taking liberty with the seaGOOSEberry is just my way)
