Ahhhh Swimming!!!!
Mom has been true to her word and has taken me swimming a lot lately. I really like swimming, but I don’t stay in too long. What I like about it the most is I feel so cool when I get out. Most times Mom comes into the water with me. She walks right beside me as I swim around her. I think she just wants to be with me where ever I am. She loves me so much.
Today Mom and I went to the library for a visit. Ms. Sharon had a walker and I didn’t even notice. She moved it all around and I didn’t care. I just wanted to see her. Mom was so proud of me. One more little test for me on my journey to becoming a certified therapy dog. After the library I went swimming, then we visited with someone from North Carolina.
After dinner, Mom, Dad and I went for a ride to a friend’s house. Mom and I went down to the lake to go swimming. The waves were much larger than any I have experienced before. Mom was right beside me as the waves splashed on the shore. We went in the water a little ways, but the waves were a little big for me today. Mom did not push me past my comfort level, so I was not scared at all. I know we will go back out again for a swim when the waves are not quite so big.
I had such a nice day with Mom. I just love her so.
Until next time,

Sounds like a fun time, Izzy! Your mom sounds smart not pushing you past your comfort level.

Thanks Chilidawg, she is really smart. She told me tonight that I get to go swimming as much as I want tomorrow.

Thanks Jerry, I am hoping to go swimming later today. Mom has been busy that past couple of days, but I am sure today is the day. I just love her.
