Swimming

I like swimming. I was adopted by Mark and Patty June 4, 1998. It was about mid July when Mom discovered how much I like to swim. It makes them think I might be part Lab. But unlike Labs, who seem to always need to be retrieving something, I'm happy just swimming around in little circles, biting and barking at the water.

Last year Mom and Dad bought me a 16-foot diameter, about 3 feet deep pool for the backyard. It took me until August before I figured out what to do with it. But then, on Aug. 1, 2003, I jumped in and that's all I wanted to do for about two months until it got cold. This year I jumped right in the day after Dad filled it (June 1). It is fun.

I sure wish my sister Juno could have as much fun as I do with the pool. But she is a coonhound and just wants to sniff and chase animals, I guess. /psm
