A heart-tugging view from behind shows Bas, the long-haired Dachshund, standing in quiet contemplation at the water's edge in the Herperduin. His dark, silken fur and fluffy tail are silhouetted against the pale, damp sand of the shore as he gazes out over a mirror-like lake. The water perfectly captures the silver-gray of the overcast sky and the deep, verdant greens of the encircling pine forest, creating a sense of infinite stillness. A long, slender leash stretches toward him, a thin but strong bond representing a shared journey through this peaceful wilderness. The vastness of the landscape highlights Bas’s small but adventurous spirit, portraying him as a tiny explorer lost in the majesty of nature. It is a tender, atmospheric moment that captures the serene beauty of a lakeside morning and the soulful connection between a dog and the world around him.

Bas and I joined a good friend and her dog for another walk at the Herperduin. Bas had a good time, with all the sniffs. Although, this time, he didn't venture into the cold water... 😊

@cathos@merveilles.town Fankoos 💜 and yeah, a long-haired one... Meaning I got to pluck his tail many times, as he tried to sweep the woods. 😂 If the bits don't come out of his hair in time, then they get all tangled up... He hates me plucking stuff out every time, but he hates the stuff getting stuck even more... 😊 He's a little cutie, but a hand full at times. 😂 🐾
