DA DAWG

The Shel-bell, aka Shelly, and I headed down for our end of summer lake walk. Her bloodhound mix drives her crazy as she seeks out a prairie dog in the bushes! She is pushing 12 years, so not sure how much time she has left before she gets enrolled into elder care. However, she can still go pounce the backyard if a squirrel decides to trespass on her property.

Time to fish since dad forgot her ball! Actually, I tossed sticks out deep enough where she had to swim out and retrieve them. Her only problem, the same as playing catch with her, she is only a part-time retriever---only retrieves the item part of the way and then drops it. So, I had to wait for the trickling of waves to bring the stick to shore.
