What beautiful pictures! You know that a good while ago, years ago, I had a little golden that accompanied me for many years. He was a sweetheart and certainly when I went for walks with him he would go crazy, very rarely would I let him off leash on the street, but when we got to a square or something, yes I would let him off leash and let him go. He was a sweetheart. Your furry companions are also, I was very amused by the photo of the lake, he even took a dip!
