The answer is yes! I am bored! This road trip is getting a bit old. The last few places we stayed were near the water, but the water was off limits. The bi-peds don't care for the rain and fog, but they don't realize Jodie and I don't mind a bit. Rain, river water, ponds, lakes, sprinkler systems, road runoff, it doesn't mater, water is water.I guess that you can see Coco is still a whiner. In fact, this campground was very empty, so we went out to play fetch shortly after this picture was taken. Of course, we had a minor problem with the old dude because he only had one yellow fuzzy ball. Ha!!! Just let him try to find it. Coco and I made an end run around the laundry and dropped the ball on the other side. He asked us to get the ball, but we didn't even listen. Course, he took us back in right then.
We've been getting in a LOT more swimming at this campground in Nova Scotia. The last two time have been great because we had the water to ourselves. Today we found a new away to get EVEN MORE swimmin'. The secret is MUD. Yup mud. The old man has been taking us up the off-leash trail from time to time and we usually just run up the trail and back, up and back. This morning we discovered the sides of the trail. I found a little stream that ran alongside the trail and I went in, bit the old man didn't get upset. Of course I only got my feet wet.
Yes, Coco, you only had your feet wet. I discovered the mud. One quick jump and I was covered half way up my body. It was neat mud, too, black as tar! I thought that the old man would go to pieces, but I didn't even notice him react. The point is that instead of running the trail, doing our business, and then being brought back to the camper, we were brought to the lake and urged to go for a swim. There were no yellow, furry balls, but there was a stick thrown and that will also get a response from us. Coco is usually pretty good about fetching and dropping so the old man can throw again. This time Coco wouldn't let the stick go and she kept it away from him and me! We swam into the lake and I tried and tried to get the stick, but as I'd get close, Coco 'd turn around so the stick was out of reach. Bummer!
Tit for tat, Jodie, tit for tat. Keep away is usually your game, so I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine,Ha, Ha, Ha.
Yay! Yay! We got to a new campground today and what a campground it is. Lots of kids and dogs. A real "off-leash" hiking trail and Ta-dah........a pond where we can also romp off leash. We hit the water with a speed you wouldn't believe. I can't remember if the water was cold or not, but it sure was wet. I don't think it was too cold 'cause there were a bunch of kids in the water.
Yup, I was thinking of introducing myself, but Mom kept throwing the ball and I kept chasing it. I don't know why I do that, but I do. Mom threw the ball over and over and over until I was completely worn out. A towel rubdown never felt so good. Even Jodie was dropping the ball for Mom and then chasing it back in the water. We had a busy time and the bed sure felt good.
Coco and I got a chance to do some real swimming today and I ALMOST got myself a duck or two. My swimming has reached a new level and I was SOOOO close to a duck that I could almost taste her. Then, just as I was about snatch the duck, she flew away. FLEW, that's cheating! Later I was chasing down two and was getting VERY close. Then, one went to the left and one to the right. It was just enough to get me confused I watched one, then I turned to look at the other and then my only option was to turn around and swim for shore. I made it look like that was just what I had in mind so I wouldn't be embarrassed.
Jodie was out of her element chasing the duck. Oh, I chased them at first, but even a beagle knows that ducks and gees can fly and the best dog doesn't stand a chance of catching one in the water. You have to lurk in the bushes and wait for the duck to get close. Then, at the last possible moment, leap at the duck and grab it by the neck. Ya gotta get the neck, cause if you grab the body the duck will peck your eyes or pull your ears. I was having a ball chasing a stick. It's not the most fun, but the old man really digs the interaction and I do the fetching thing to please him. I also think it leads to more cookies and treats.
I heard the two-paws and I think we'll be visiting the river again, so we want to behave for the time being. You may have noticed that I've been very good the last few days because I'm pretty sure that they know it was me who ate all the pastry the other day.
I'm surprised you didn't get sick. Since that episode with those little fish, I've been keeping away from over indulging in foods. It's been a long day and I'm about ready to crash.
Me too. G'night Coco.
G'night Jodie.
