Dog Days of Summer 2013 - Walking Daddy

Mummy went for a long bike ride today as she is training for a big ride. While she was gone, daddy took me for a walk along Alder Creek and we found a great swimming hole. Well I did. I stood on the side to encourage daddy to join me but he was not interested. He said something about bugs and mud....

So I went in on my own and checked it out. Like all water, it was GREAT!! I just love to snuffle around in the water, blowing bubbles out of my nose. 

I found a bridge to use as a diving platform. if there is one thing better than swimming, its diving. The bridge was a little rickety and some of the boards were missing so it wasn't a very stable diving platform. It made it really difficult to jump into the water...instead of my usual flamboyant dives, I did a few less than graceful belly flops. 

I realised that the only way to address the problem was to fix the bridge. Luckily the missing boards were easily found in the bushes, so I decided to bring them back to daddy so he could fix the bridge. 

I am such a good canine citizen!!!
