Milo here! I see another Milo Memo on the horizon!
Well the summer is certainly here and mummy and daddy took me back up to the mountains. In fact, we have been a few times but this time was special because I learned to swim!! Apparently I am born to swim as I have webbed toes like a frog….whatever one of those is….Here I am with mummy on the hike to the lake…..
It was quite a long hike so I stopped a few times on the way to do different things as I got a little bored of walking, walking, walking. Here I am with a big stick – great for chewing….
….and here I am playing in some plants. I think my chocolate coat looks good in green, don’t you?
Eventually we arrived at the lake. It was beautiful and I decided to scope it out so I would know what to expect when I went in for my swim. It looked fine from here….
…and the temperature seemed fine. Nice and cool after a long, hot hike…..
Mummy spent some time giving me a pep talk and swim tips. I was not so sure…
…but daddy threw a stick for encouragement and once I was in, I loved it! It was ‘aqua fetch’ and I did swim for the stick over and over again!
Daddy was so proud of me. He was all smiles and gave me a big cuddle when I came out of the water even though I was all wet….
He gave me cuddles from all angles!
I sunbathed on the rocks after my swim but I started to feel a little chilly so I huddled up in a little ball…
Mummy could tell so she gave me a big cuddle to keep me warm….
Once I had warmed up, we began our hike back down the mountain. Daddy was still all smiles and kept stopping to give me a cuddle for being such a brave boy and swimming.
I had to keep stopping again to do different things, like play with a giant pine cone!And daddy had to keep stopping for more smiles and cuddles!
He was so proud that once we got back to the cabin, he let me play with a giant ball instead of a giant pine cone. Once again I look good in green… What an adventurous day!
Ciao for now!
