Rush to Rushing Water

If i were to ask Nicki which of his walks and places he likes best, i think he'd bark, "It's ALL good!!" ... although he squeals most when nearing Squalicum where his play pals usually are.

But he keeps track, for sure.  We hadn't been to Padden in about a year and yet, as i drove in that direction, the Jeep was suddenly filled with all this doggie-alert going on doggie-expectancy.   

But whether it's at Nooksak, Sehome or Padden one thing he definitely loves is running up and down embankments and hills bounding through the brush or into water like some sort of self-guiding fuzzy rocket. 

Some of the embankments (not the one depicted) are quite steep and i do worry about him loosing grip and falling into a current. 

On the way back we stopped off at the ProShop where i bought two new lacrosse balls, since the others were finally on the verge of being atomized.
