"N" is for "Nice Day for a Swim!!!"


"N"


It was a NICE afternoon for a swim...

It all started yesterday morning...
Kelly woke up from her morning NAP to go with me to Pilates.
Since she couldn't go in with me, she chose to get back to her NAPPING.
When I got back to the car at NOON and told her we were going to June Lake, 
she went a bit NUTS thinking "Lake!!!  Swimming!!!"
She was quite annoyed when I told her NO it was NOON and time for lunch...
Mama stopped and got a burger while Kelly NAPPED again...
When Mama got back to the car...Kelly NAGGED and NAGGED about 
going for a walk and a swim at the Lake...
She was quite a NUISANCE and barked at me that it was tantamount to
NEGLECT to NOT take her.  She barked to remind me of my John Muir
quote from yesterday's blog and reminded me that she NEEDED to 
get out in NATURE as per Muir's quote.
In order to avoid any further dog-NAGGING...I decided that a stroll along the 
lake was just what I NEEDED too!!!



Soooo...we stopped at the Lake and like the true NATURIST that she is
Kelly plunged into the water in all her glory...
NOBODY else was on the beach so she was confident that she could
run and play and shake the water off to her heart's content...


She swam like a sea NYMPH.   Taking NOSEDIVES to retrieve the 
soggy pinecone that I threw in the water for her to fetch.
She was like a NUTCASE obsessed with the pinecone.


But as she came out of the water and looked out on the lake that
she had been enjoying...she looked like the NOBLE beast that she is...

After a few more shakes, she came up to me and NUZZLED her wet
NOSE in my lap to thank me for a wonderful afternoon...

It was my pleasure Kelly-girl!!!

  6. Your fur baby reminds me of my dog that I left in the Philippines. When I left the island, he followed the boat where I was until he couldn't swim anymore and he turned around. Made me nostalgic!

  9. Scout hates the water, but she is equally persistent about her walks. When I get out my walking shoes she makes it very clear that she gets to come and that I better hurry up.

  10. Rog...Kelly has the advantage of the fur coat she wears everywhere she goes...it enables her to swim in cold, cold water and lay in the snow for hours at a time...and is the reason she likes to sleep on the cool tile in the shower at home!!!

    I think Kelly and Scout would get along famously Margaret!!!

  12. What a day! Such a lucky dog (you too!). Looks like you gave her the day of her dreams which, as pet owners, is truly our job.

  14. It's my pleasure! And that dreaming might account for extended napping!
