It's been a while since I did a Sophie post. Shame on me since she is the light of my life. Fluff and love and fun. She keeps me moving and looking for adventure without traveling too far afield. It's all a thrill to her and I can't tell you how good it is for me as well.
We headed out on a beautiful October day. Our dunes are edged with scraggly woods and shallow marshes, and they're a wonderful playground for Sophie. In the first picture we'd just stepped out of the car and she appears to be making an assessment as to which area she should explore first.
Sophie is just shy of 15 months and still very much a puppy. Depending on their lifestyle Golden Retrievers stay puppies for many years, and I'm sure that will be the case with Sophie as I do like to keep life playful.
On the edge of a marsh we came upon these pretty Asters with beetle... maybe a cucumber beetle, though no cucumbers in sight.
After a good run in the woods and marsh we headed into the dunes. Guess who loves to dig in the sand? Yes, and guess who gets to stand in the backyard pool with Sophie to clean her up before she can come in the house. She's worth it.
A good time was had by all, including Rich who moseyed along the level path while the kid and I ran hither and yon.
Thanks for coming along. Wishing you a beautiful day!

I always get excited when I see Sophie's name in your blog post title...she is just the sweetest pup and I just love following her adventures that you post! Such a sweet, sweet girl...thanks Leslie!! Hugs. :0)
Wonderful pics. Such a wonderful pup.
She has grown into such a beauty! Thanks for sharing your pictures this morning as I love seeing her!
Oh Sophie, you're such a beauty. Nothing like a Golden, thanks for the smile this morning, my friend!!
Sophie is such a beautiful girl!!! I love seeing these posts with her being the star of the show. My daughter has an Irish Creme Golden as well. He must be 7 or 8 years old and still just as playful and wiggly as a pup. Your photography skills are amazing my friend, but then, you have good subject matter. ;0)
My how Sophie has grown! She's a beauty! I'm sure Wally and Lulu are watching you all and love seeing Sophie enjoy the fun as much as they did. ❤️
It makes me so happy to picture this outing. Delightful pics, and loving Sophie!
I love seeing your platinum blonde beauty, Leslie! Sounds like a wonderful day for all!

Beautiful dog! Thanks for sharing the pictures. Do it often!
Sophie is such a beauty. I think she has Wally's face, so sweet. Will her coat darken over the years?
Love the pics of beautiful Sophie.

Thanks for sharing this. It is so lovely to see such a happy Sophie and an equally happy Leslie. I am glad you and Rich got out and about a bit xx
Sophie is growing but I can still see the puppy there! She's a beauty, even covered in sand! It sounds like a beautiful walk and a fun time!
It sure does look like she very much enjoys her trips out and about, oh it is too cold here now to be in a pool, LOL! How nice to still have flowers blooming so pretty :). So good to hear that Rich was able to come and watch her play and have fun too!
Oh my goodness, Sophie is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing pictures of her. Nice to see those beautiful asters as well. Have a wonderful day Leslie!
