LIVING CLOSE TO NATURE.

      Sipp Bay - so close, who knew?  We found out we were only a few miles from a beautiful place called Sipp Bay.  One morning we all took a ride there to check it out.  Very beautiful and a place that will be different each time you go.  Weather changes, tides come and go, different wildlife may be present and the vegetation changes with the seasons.  I loved it because of all the new scents.  With my magic nose I am very attuned to these things.

A LOUD AND COLORFUL CELEBRATION.

       Well, another Fourth of July has come and gone here in Eastport, Maine.
      A lot of the dog population in town are frightened and annoyed by the noise of the fireworks, but not me.  I enjoy it.  It is amazing to see the bright and colorful lights dripping down from the sky.  I look forward to watching them every year - twice.  We live on an island across the water from Canada and we can see their Canada Day fireworks from our balcony.   I am a lucky because I get the treat of two celebrations each year.

A BIT OF EXERCISE.

      Another day at the Dawg Park and I am helping Daddy David get some exercise.  Although I only weigh 80 pounds, I am solid and all muscle.  Therefore I always win these tug-of-wars.  I am so lucky to have humans that take me almost everywhere they go.  I get to the park regularly and often get down to the sea.  I also go for a hike in the woods practically every morning out at Shackford head.  There are lots of animals living there and it is a cornucopia of tantalizing and delightful scents especially in the early morning.  

VENETIAN BLIND SHADOWS.

     During the summer my nap time coincides with the western sun making amazing stripes across me.  The sun is warm and toasty and I am so cozy.  I look good too!
