Abby Holidays in Langford - April 2012

My Adventures at the Lagoon

I am so tired! Wait 'till you hear what we did today!

So we had some errands to run just after lunch, and somehow, we ended up at Esquimalt Lagoon! We had my leash of course, and Sharon's trusty camera. It's a really good idea to take the camera along because you just never know what we will end up doing and what will happen.

You're probably wanting to see a picture right away so here is one, right below.

This is me, looking down the beach

It was pretty cool down there - almost cold you would say - and it was breezy too. But it sure gave us lots of energy. We walked along beside the water where the sand was wet. Sometimes we had to move out of the way because a wave would come in closer than the others. Once, one touched one of my back paws so I lifted it up and moved quite quickly! 

I was really feeling good, and I would even run out to the end of the leash, then look back to see if Sharon was still there. Take a look and you'll see.

Near the beginning of our walk, another dog came along! It had droopy eyes and really, really long ears. You can't see his ears in the picture. He was a really nice dog.

Too bad you can't see his long ears

So anyway, we walked some more and a woman came along with two dogs - a dark one and a light one. Sharon picked me up because she wasn't sure what they were and if I would be safe. Then she asked the woman what kind of dags they were, and she said they were Labradoodles. Right away, Sharon put me down because they are nice dogs. 

The dark one did not come close so she missed being in the picture. 

Nice, eh?

So we walked some more and I will tell you there are so many interesting smells at that place. I need to go back. Even the LOGS smelled good. Sometimes I had to leave a drop or two beside one that smelled especially good.

Well near the end of the walk I have to tell you it was not that great. I love other dogs. DOGS I said. NOT PUPPIES!  Puppies are a pain I've discovered! 

We're almost back to the car and there is a woman and a little kid, and a puppy. Sharon's going on about oh how cute the puppy is. Cute????? Ya, cute to look at. 

This 'cute' little thing started barking at me. The woman was on her phone so not really a whole lot of help. The darn thing was barking and coming up close to me and jumping around. I was trying to get away and Sharon was twizzling me around on the leash to try to get away from it.

THEN you know what Sharon said? I can't believe what she said. She said, "it used to be her bugging the other dogs". WHAT?????????? She was talking about me. I think you should know what she was saying behind your backs. 

Take a look at the little rotter. 

 In the picture she looks so innocent

Then the woman came and picked up the puppy and we went to the car. 

It was sure a great adventure (except for 'cute' puppies). As soon as we got home, I went straight to the couch and had a really good nap.

See, we have a beach too.
