Froggin'

OK, Frito is scoping out the situation.

Does he see any frogs swimming in the pond?

Yes, indeedy.  Time to try a sneak attack.

Yeah, Frito was never very sneaky.

The frogs always let Frito get some exercise, and then dove under water.

But I don't think Frito minded.

After a good swim, nothing like a good roll on the grass to get all messy.

Ahhhh, summertime around the garden pond.

Happy. Leap. Year.

Happy.


Leap.


Year.

Get it?

Splish-splash

Ummmm.

Hey Mom ... watchu doin'?


That's what I thought you might be doing!

Well that's OK, 'cause actually I was very toasty.

Thanks for cooling me down.

Lookin' for frogs

They call this a frog pond.


But I'm not seein' any. What gives?

Making a splash!

Guess what today is? My parents left on vacation, and so did I. They are off to Hawaii (24-hours of travel to an island state is not a good prescription for a doggie). And I'm off to my new dog sitters, the Beuttlers. When my parents dropped me off this morning, I made myself right at home. They are great people. Pretty cool I get my very own vacation, donchathink?

So anyways, about this other splash -- in the water!


Yesterday was a beautiful day, and we took a nice long walk (and I was getting hot). So when I didn't just jump in the pond on my own, I received a little, er, assistance from Alpha.

I don't mind. I really like the water. Cools me right off and gives me more spunk in the trunk!


But you can see in this photo, my hair is getting pretty thin. Hey, who knew dog's had to worry about male pattern baldness.

Hopefully the medicine I get from Dr. Essig will be able to get back some of my hair. Won't be too bad in the summer, but next winter ... brrrrr.

Swamp Thing #2

My family calls me the "Swamp Thing", when I'm swimming through the pond weed.

It's really not so bad -- and after all -- that IS where the frogs are hiding, doncha know!

Making waves

You can see what a good swimmer I am. Check out that wake. Woo-hoo -- Frito's making some waves. Watch out your don't get splashed ;-)

And as far as my retrieving skills are concerned? Well, let us just say, "to the victor, go the spoils."

Taking a dip

I got to go to my favorite place in the whole world -- the cottage. And even though it is only the beginning of June, the water was just fine!

I got to swim and fetch with my girl. Yes, I beat her to this ball, and it's all mine. See?
