Our first visit to the Bonshaw Hills for this fall season included the company of the golden grand-dog. Georgie enjoys these hikes with my husband and me when she has the opportunity to be off lead. With so few people among the many kilometres of trails that day, Georgie enjoyed that freedom.
Georgie is a scouting dog. She loves to run ahead of the lead hiker and explore a bit, then run back.
If my husband and I are separated on the trail, she will run to the second of us to check in as well.
She spends the first half of the hike running reconnaissance. By the second half, Georgie is tired and sticks close beside us.
In the parking lot, while my husband gave Georgie a drink, I began to explore the fishing trail by the West River. Georgie pulled away from my husband and ran to me, then into the river.
Coaxing finally got her out of the water where she shook herself off, soaking us too.
To top off the day, Georgie had a scoop of vanilla ice cream. She watches eagerly as my husband waits for service at the wicket. It was a perfect Georgie day
Oh my gosh Georgie is adorable Marie, she must love those off-leash walks with you 💛
ReplyDeleteGeorgie is a wonderful companion. I love your sweet pictures of her. I'll be she loved jumping in the water! :-)

ReplyDeleteShe does very well with you folk.
ReplyDeleteIt looks/sounds like a pretty good day for all of you.
ReplyDeleteWhich is wonderful.
She appreciates the off the lead moments she get from you. To top off the day with an ice cream, there is no better way. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dog he is! I love that last photo of him, so cute☺
ReplyDeleteHer antics remind me of the dog we used to have.
ReplyDeleteYes, it surely was one.
ReplyDeleteOhh Beautiful Georgie!! Looks very health! One can see she is a very loved dog. Great friend and companion!
ReplyDeleteShe is majestic :)
ReplyDeletethese are so delightful images dear Marie !
how clever and amazing she is
We used to have a male mutt like Georgie when we hiked. And did exactly the same. Never thought of rewarding him with ice cream, though.
ReplyDeleteDogs, like children, should be taken where they can run off the lead and finds things to enjoy. I'm so glad you spoil the Grand-dog.
ReplyDeleteGeorgie is beautiful. Lovely photos. Sorry not visiting much. Just a very busy time for us. Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteThis looks like nice place to walk. A lot of dogs are just like kids...they love water. I used to have a dachshund. And if we came to a mudpuddle she was in it and laid down! 20+ years later, if my younger daughter came to a mudpuddle I had to be on my toes to keep her from jumping right in the middle of it!
ReplyDeleteI think we all look like that when we are waiting for someone to buy us ice cream!
ReplyDeleteVery nice post.

ReplyDeletemmmmm... delightful aroma of wet doggie...
ReplyDeleteThis just warms my heart, Marie - if only all dogs could have such a perfect day once in awhile!
