Sunshine

Rudder is going to be a skinny minny by the end of summer. This dog has been non-stop swimming for the last week.



Maddie's face is yellow because she stopped and smelled every single flower of Nonna's on the way down to the lake.


Maddie convinced me to go on the innertube with her.

Then I convinced her to go alone.  Which was great.  Until she submarined the tube.  Which you can see starting to happen in this picture.  She was NOT happy.  So then I got to go back out with her to build up that confidence.

But then Maddie's (Sonja's) friends came over and she was totally over me.

And Allie was totally over me.

For the entire day.

so fickle aren't they? A cute new girl comes along and you are spit. Just like that.

I'll bet Ruds still liked you though (as long as you were willing to chuck a stick or ball or log...)

PS is the lake warm yet? it's still pretty arctic in the water here. I don't go in until August...

The girls sure loved Sonja's friends and they enjoyed hanging out with Maddie and Allie. I don't think the lake water ever gets warm. Now everyone is going to tell you I don't swim in the lake. True. But I manage to get splashed on a daily basis.
