Memphis discovers Lake Ontario

This afternoon I took Memphis to the lake at Samual Smith park. On the way, she made friends with a 150 lb beautiful St. Bernard. Memphis was very curious about the water but didn't go in for a swim. She laid down on the stone beach and let the waves lap up over her paws. She also saw the swans, who were not impressed. We met a few dogs with their owners, who warned us to watch out for the City truck, as sometimes they come around and ticket people who let their dogs off the leash.

On that subject, a local dog owner told us of a place where a number of people take their dogs at specific times in the morning and evening, and let them run and play together off leash. We were there this evening and Memphis had a great time.
