I'm not a big dog person, but this dog really was very friendly and alert. It was just wanting for someone to throw it a stick in the water to chase. It just seemed to be wandering alongside the river looking for people or dogs to play with.
She is very alert, active and full of mischief today. She wanna go out all the time and I have been out with her several times already today. The weather is so-so only (gray 'n dark) but no rain so far today.
Now, she takes a nap here in my computer-room and gives me a break so I can post some photos of her ;)

Diefenbunker: Canada's Cold War Museum
EMGOVSITCEN
If the Cold War turned hot, information would have been coming fast. The job of the Emergency Government Situation Centre (EmGovSitCen) was to make it all make sense.
In the tense days leading up to a nuclear war and beyond, staff at EmGovSitCen would have constantly updated the Alert Status boards using data from NATO and other defence organizations, provincial bunkers, weather offices, and media outlets.
After an attack, EmGovSitCen would have assessed damage to cities and transportation systems, as well as the state of other emergency government bunkers. They also would track the inevitable human cost of nuclear war, tabulating injuries and death across Canada.
“We're simply trying to practice the flow of information. Because our job was basically flowing information from outside sources, and from sources we had here, analyzing it, collating it and presenting it to Cabinet so Cabinet can make whatever decisions it had to make at the time."

A very alert Swan on the Kennet & Avon Canal.
Hope 2012 is a good year for all my flickr friends.
