Swim Meet



Labor day weekend is the dog swim at our local pool. Ray is a natural as far as swimming goes. He is a STRONG swimmer. (He must take after Gregg who swims like a fish. I mostly just 'flounder' around.)
Ray was pretty excited to go to the swim. All those dogs and people had him really wound up. Still, he was a bit calmer than last year. Last year he pretty quickly picked a little dog to hound and then wouldn't leave the dog alone and wouldn't shut up (to the total bemusement of the dog's owners and the amusement of everyone else). This year he didn't start yelling until we'd been there for a few minutes, and then he seemed to yell at nothing in particular. (Maybe it was the sheer thrill of it all.) He sure is an attention getter.
Ray's girlfriend, Kappy, was here to join in the fun and took some photos.
