My 1st Attempt at Swimming

Mum has been neglecting my blog for the last 2 weeks. She's been taking heaps of pictures, but never seem to make the time to edit and resize the photos to make them download friendly, so finally, today on a misty rainy Seattle Sunday morning, she decides to wake up early to remedy the situation.

So here goes....

I had my first attempt at swimming 2 weeks ago at Rattlesnake Lake. This area is one of my favorite jaunts. After our 4 mile hike to the ledge, we went to the lake, but little did mum know, I would try my paw at swimming for the first time ever. I saw a white dog retrieving a stick thrown by its owner, so I decided this could be fun for a dale like me. Check out my fun day at the lake.

I saw this white dog fetching a stick thrown into the water, so I decided to join in (uninvited).

Hey Mum, look at me in the water. This is refreshing.

Taking a moment's pause, to appreciate nature and to live in the moment

Hey! Can I play with you?
