Swimming

I like to swim. No, I take that back. I LOVE to swim. When I was younger, they called me Fish Boy. That's how much I love to swim.


Here I am, acting as Chief Lifeguard at Hanging Horn Lake. It was quite the job, let me tell you. The Humans - that's Original Mom on the left - just did not understand the need for safety. They didn't stay close to shore, they were not consistently using the buddy system... the only saving grace is that they were in relatively shallow water, so I didn't have to watch them every second.

But as I've mentioned before, because I am unable to whistle, and the Humans would not provide me with an external whistle, I had to complete the well-known "Nose Check for Safety" constantly. Luckily, and through no small effort on my part, everyone made it out of the water safely. Next time I'm bringing a longer leash. Or perhaps stilts....
