Bridget and Denise from Vermont are visiting Greg and Steve. We brought five dogs (as of this afternoon) with us. It was a great evening, especially for three dogs who had never been to the pool before. Penny dove in for quite a shock. She was just trying to get close to me. I immediately picked her up and held her inside the pool. She didn’t make that mistake again. Moppy leaned over to taste the salty water several times, but we made sure she saw the fresh dog water bowl nearby. All the dogs got plenty of exercise and will sleep well tonight.

Got some sun, and Snoopy and Bonnie had a relaxing day with a small group of us humans.

My blind dog Bonnie circled the pool that she’s very familiar with at least five times yesterday without incident. She’s been there countless times, but has only fallen in twice. Once she fell when I was right next to her in the pool. The other time she walked into it when the cover was on, and Steve grabbed her immediately. This was the second pool day of the year. It was very nice to relax after a long week with good friends, music, and good food.
