Yesterday the sun actually shone! It left around 4pm but hey, for 8 hours it stayed around and warmed and brightened it all up.
Watcher, Frankie,Ticket and I headed to a small beach on the banks of the Fraser River about 1/2 hour away. It's off of a logging road...a really nice drive through the forest, although incredibly bumpy what with all the washouts and winter weather creating large potholes on the gravel road. Bump,bump,bump all the way there.
We're here! We're at the beach! WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!
Ticket's trying to lure the boys to play " chase me chase me, I have a ball".
Oh, boys! I have a ball!!
Ticket drinks water like a front loader.
Awwww, tis true love!
WTF??
I do believe I will steal your stick!
Hey! Someone should have told me about the drop off!
Today is another grey day. But no rain! Well,little sprinkles here and there but nothing that will thwart a walk! More later when we return!

I always feared letting my dogs swim in the rivers ..course i am a freak when it comes to worrying about every little thing but when i used to walk Laredo down by the fraser many a times the seal lions were hanging about. YIKES!!!
I've never seen the sea lions this far up the river. Not to say they DON'T come up this way though. I hadn't even thought of them in years. Oh gawd.
A neighbor a couple miles away did lose her Rotti X Lab to a small herd of sea lions just outside Mission last May.
I don't throw stuff in the Fraser for my guys to fetch, because the of the currents and the wicked cold water barely below the surface. The do snatch at sticks floating by though. We do our swimming in the lakes.
Thanks for that important reminder Janice! I'm going to ask some oldtimers here to see if they know if the seals are up my way.
Wow, talk about a different world. Without driving a couple of hours the only bodies of water out here are man-made lakes (filled with reclamation water - gross)or canals (filled with god only knows what). And now that it's warming up you have to be careful of rattlesnakes out sunning themselves in your path. How lucky you are to live in such a beautiful place! Glad you finally got a break in the weather to get the pups out there to enjoy it!
Oh geeez Colleen, I really feel for you.
I couldn't handle it if I didn't have these bodies of fresh water so close. Or the mountains.
The break in the weather...was a wonderful respite, much needed again!! I am beginning to despise March and April months. One more month of wet coming up.
When did you say you wanted to trade? I could do it for 3 days and then I would be homesick for the mountains and lakes/rivers/creeks.
