A wonderful dog extravaganza was enjoyed by the girls and I and our wonderful friends today at Thetis Lake — a terrific way to end the year, being outdoors and meeting lots of other dog-walkers and their friendly owners. Above are Jan who owns Macy (beautiful golden retriever) and Sarah (owner of the two pictured sniffing black labs, Charlie Girl and Tarka). Thanks, ladies and girls, for another great year of adventure walking with our dogs. I think this is a neat shot of the mossy trees along the path.
Funny, Cindy and I had not been out to Thetis Lake for a walk for probably over a year and somehow she must have remembered that she likes posing on this log! Jan, Sarah and I can remember the same log being one Cindy likes.
And of course a walk around a lake could never be complete for Macy (and Charlie Girl, too) without a few Frisbee throws and retrievals. This photo shows Macy in the foreground and a chocolate lab we met named Guinness in the distance swimming out for his Frisbee. Brrrrr . . . but they don’t seem to mind.
This was Midge’s first time at Thetis Lake — and of course, she enjoyed it tremendously. Here is a shot of her (in action, that is why she is a little blurball!) in pursuit of a squirrel. Um, no, Squirrel Girl did not secure the prey!
A final shot of the beauty of the morning walk we had — and a chance for me to thank all of my terrific dog-walking friends (I know, a couple of you don’t have dogs, but you understand my dog-centered soul): Bev, Colleen, Gisela, Jan, Jeannie, Maryanne, Sarah — oh, and Allen, too! I am really so lucky to be able to call you my friends and I look forward to another year of exploring and enjoying the gratifying activity of a good dog walk. Happy 2014 tomorrow!
