This was our lean and muscular Chesapeake Bay Retriever watching for the green tennis ball to be pitched into the pond. She was dripping wet and shivering with excitement or anticipation and perhaps the chill in the spring air. This was her favourite game. She would break ice in order to play in the water. When the pond froze solid she would play hockey with the kids. She lost a couple of teeth catching the pucks. Her grin was missing some teeth and she looked like a National Hockey League player. We spend a lot of time playing. Life was very good.
She was a wonderful family member and a close buddy of the Maine Coon cat. In fact she was more cat than dog and would clean and lick her face and paws like any cat. In return the cat was more like a dog and wanted to go for family walks.
This view was looking northeast across the large pond immediately north of the home of Watershed Farm and visible from the family room windows.
