My First Time Up North...and My Part in Jeff and Nisa's Engagement- Part II

What do ya' know? More pictures of me! Jeff loves this one! I romped around the beach after wading in the water and got covered with sand. I'd settle down for a few seconds...just enough time to capture a shot like this...and then back to play.
This kind of looks like the picture from my last blog where I was running towards Jeff along the trail. Here I am running towards Jeff on the beach. Notice the sand on my nose and face? Still covered!

I was only mildly interested in the lake...it was cold...give me a break! So Jeff tried to lure me in by throwing driftwood in there and trying to get me to fetch. The wood got too far away so I let it drift back in. Check out my pose!


Yet another picture of me running down the trail. Another favorite of Jeff and Nisa's. We showed all the pictures to our families when we got got back home and Dan remarked, "I've never seen so many pictures of a dog before." Now, Dan is a dog person, and loves me as much as a grandpa could so I don't think he was slighting me...but it was a subtle dig at Jeff and his zeal in documenting my puppyhood. "Otis, sit! Stay! *flash...snap*. Otis, stay! *flash...snap*"...over and over and over. I oblige...I'm a good puppy.


One more of me running down the trail. We're headed back to the cottage...apparently Jeff has something big planned!



My First Time Up North...and My Part in Jeff and Nisa's Engagement- Part I

Yeah! I made it up north! It's Saturday AM and we're headed for a walk on the trail behind the cottage.
What a beautiful day! Jeff and Nisa said we missed "peak colors", whatever that means, but I didn't care. Some of the leaves had already fallen on the trail which made for a comfy walk. It was great to be off my leash...stopping to sniff around whenever I wanted, but never getting out of sight. Don't my ears look cool in this picture as I run towards Jeff?

Here's just another picture of me walking on the trail with Nisa.


We walked down the trail towards Topinabee and went to the beach area at the end of Grandview Beach. So this was my first time down by the water at Mullett Lake. Nisa calls the photo "butt cam"! It was such a beautiful day...comfortable temperature, no wind, sunny, calm lake...just awesome!



Drum roll please....Here's my first swim...if you could call it a swim. It was the middle of October so the lake was a little chilly and I didn't actually "swim" around. But I did wade into the water to check it out. Jeff kept saying "wait until next year...you're going to love it!"
