He brought Laura and Kevin (chapter3travels.com) along to keep Dave and I company. He's a very thoughtful guy.

| after dinner - right after this was taken Kevin shared some of his delicious lavender-honey, home made ice cream for dessert! |
We humans had a lovely time visiting, eating, drinking, boating and relaxing.

| and...for dessert's dessert we made s'mores at dusk (don't judge) |

Thor had a phenomenal time. He explored every inch of the cottage, the decks, the yard, the lake, the boat, Lewis' toys. He watched the sea gulls overhead and stalked flies and ants that dared enter his line of vision.
He did his business wherever and whenever he felt like it. He strolled on the dock, trotted around the house and out of our sight for minutes at a time. He swam and swam and swam. Mostly after his orange ball, but sometimes just because he wanted to.

| coming and going |
 |
| off they go again! |
 |
| Oh, those magnificent ears |
 |
| so, how long will this ride last? |
Lewis participated in most activities but did, occasionally, retire to the house for a little downtime while Thor's youthful energy never ran down. (I think he knew he was only going to be here a short time and wanted to fully experience what Mr. David's A-1 Lakeside Canine Wonderland had to offer him)
 |
| is that MY ball, or his.....? |
They left this afternoon to continue their travels. We were sad to see them go. It's so nice to have friends come to visit.
Lewis may sleep for a week. It's exhausting to be a good host he says.......
Hahaha!!! So glad Thor had such a fabulous time at Mr. David's A-1 Lakeside Canine Wonderland. Lew was a very good host, indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though the two-leggeds had a pretty danged good time, too. I believe I see evidence of a Low-Country Boil...yum. Boat rides, fun in the water, hanging out on the deck, and good friends who make homemade ice cream! Sounds like a perfect summer vacation to me.
How sweet that Lewis has friends come to visit so he share his paradise on the lake!
ReplyDeleteWe woke up this morning to Thor's 12 minute Powerpoint presentation entitled "Why Our Pack Should Live at a Lake." There was much discussion of the relative benefits of lake living as it pertains to canine mental and physical health, as well as the importance of good socialization and self determination when it comes to decisions on where to pee. He was very committed and convincing, I must say!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, we all had a wonderful time hanging out at your beautiful home and are looking forward to catching up with you again in a couple months! Now I just need to find a good, dog-friendly lake around here to take Thor to - since that is now his true love.
Talk to you soon!
What a fantastic fun time for Lew having his friend come to play at the private water park. Think of all the treats I could have shared to help keep their energy up. Looks like a wonderful weekend with Kevin, Laura, and Thor with the perfect lake activities.
ReplyDeleteThor knew where to take his parents for fun. And he knew a black hairy handsome dog also live by the lake.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like everyone had their fun in the sun, in the water, on the boat and just everywhere else. We wished we continued on to NY from FL so we too can enjoy a day by the lake with you all!
