Charlottetown PEI

Charlottetown is the capital and largest city of the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Time for a visit.

 

On the way into the city we saw this beautiful field of rapeseed.

 

 

This is a pedestrian only street.

 

Time for lunch. John Browns was recommended to us.

 

                                                                Watters Knitwear

 

All the knitwear is produced by these individuals. Some have worked here for may years.

 

Susan finally bought a sweater after thinking about it for three years.

 

We took in a play recommended to us by folks at the dog show. "Anne and Gilbert" is a wonderful musical performed by talented young actors. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

 

Judy has a moment with Sir John A. MacDonald. The MacDonald bridge in Halifax is named after him.

 

Canadian Tire - so much more than tires.

 

Some of the merchandise inside.

 

A rainbow selection of colors.

 

And they do have tires.

 

Interesting light signals in Charlottetown. Red is square, yellow is rectangular and green is a circle.

Cornwall KOA

We moved from Twin Shores RV Resort on Lower Darnley to Cornwall KOA near Charlottetown PEI. Charlottetown is the capital.

 

 

The long drive into the KOA is bordered on one side by potato fields and the West River.

 

 

 

Our first camp site was a tree shaded area. There we are right between 2 fifth wheels.

 

 

Later in the week we were able to move to the first row up from the river.

 

Here's our spot on the river.

 

 

Here's our view.

 

 

We have a nice neighbor.

 

He's a Wheaten terrier named Guinness from Quebec.

 

 

Shelby is anxious to go swimming.

 

We have to wait for high tide.

 

 

 

 

The wooden staircase provides us access to the beach and river.

 

Canada's answer to BR31, "COWS"

 

Shelby wasn't too sure about this critter.

 

 

Callie's picture with the cow from our 2013 trip.

 

This pictures for you Marj. They sell T-shirts with movie spoofs.

 

 

 

 

 

A variety pictures to close out our stay at Twin Shores RV Resort

Twin Shores RV Resort had a very nice 'Bark Park" for dogs.

 

 

                            The beach was lovely and we tried to enjoy it as often as we could.

 

The girls just love to swim.

 

Their last swim with the red cliffs in view.

 

 

Here is where the goats' milk products are for sale.

 

 

Carrie, after 4,000 miles, I finally get to contribute a couple goat pictures.

 

 

Loved the door in this garden. A typical home garden on PEI.

 

 

We found most people here hang their laundry out to dry.

 

One last spin around the campground before moving on to Cornwall KOA.

 

 

 

 

 

Dog days of July

I spy with my little eye, on the road from Twin Shores RV resort to Kensington PEI, AGILITY EQUIPMENT ! ! !  The third time we passed this farm we saw people and dogs using the equipment. We immediately turned in and ask about practice. Oh yes, practice is Saturday morning, 9am. Leah Noye of Red Rock Agility was very gracious and invited us to attend their practice. We were told a Wheaten usually attended but was at a dog show this week-end. Oh a dog show, perhaps we could attend.

 

 

These are just a few of the practice mates. Met a nice couple from French River (from PA). They split their living time between PEI and PA.

 

These 2 pics are for Betsy and Suzanne. The female RR with the green collar is the number 1 female in Canada today.

 

 

The RRs have Parson Russell friends.

 

What's this, we see 2 Wheatens coming down the road before we enter the dog show in a ice rink/arena.

 

                      This is Sinead from Ireland with a true Irish coat and 15 month old Fiona

Sinead and Fiona with their owners/handlers Terry and Diane Brennan of Inisroe Wheatens.

We had a good visit with these folks and discovered that Diane is best friends with Callie's breeder Trudie in BC.

 

Judges just don't like Irish coats in North America, so puppy Fiona won.

 

 

 This was a confirmation and rally dog show.

Here is Spicy and Linda Hallas about to receive a rally placement ribbons. They went on to win their rally title the following day. This is the lady missing from agility practice at Red Rock Agility.

 

 

It's always a thrill to see other Wheatens and we enjoyed visiting with their owners.

 

 

 What a great 'dog' day!
