Far Side was in a foul mood…too much museum…too many stupid people. Before dinner she refused phone calls, she told Far Guy to tell whoever called that she was dead. ( My sister did not believe that for a minute.) After dinner she said “Chance and I are going to the lake!” Boy OH Boy! I am ready and at the door. Let’s go! Hurry up Far Guy! She has on her plastic shoes! (Well she has them on all the time in the summer…just incase she goes into the water.)
The first lake was too dirty…I cried when we left. I wasn’t allowed out of the car and Far Side didn’t even put one foot in the water.
The second lake was a go! YES! No green algae, no summer bloom, no yucky weeds with brown goo.
Throw the water already! She uses one of her shoes to scoop the water high in the air, and she doesn’t even care if she gets wet. She giggles.
Then she gets the camera out and starts taking photos.
Far Guy could you tell her to stop with the camera already?
Finally I am tired of playing in the water and so is she. I think she is feeling better now:)
Sometimes , Chance, it just takes times with a good friend to make a person feel better...
ReplyDeleteLess than six weeks now. The lake, Chance, and shoes full of water...sounds like exactly what the doctor called for.
ReplyDeleteYou healed your person's soul. That's the finest thing a dog can do.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good friend to Far Side. She needed someone and you were right there for her. You are her best friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good antidote to the museum, Chance. She can't HELP but take pictures of you, since you are so magnificent. Glad everybody had a good time! :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys had some fun time in the water! Love the reflections.
ReplyDeleteBack to the country and to our four-legged friends will always help. I have those days too (quite a few actually) :)
ReplyDeleteAw Chance, you are such a good therapy dog! (Handsome too!)
ReplyDeleteJust what the doctor ordered, a wonderful lake and a loyal friend to uplift your spirits!! Glad you went out and had some fun, instead of sulking on the couch!! I have 'ever ready' sandals too!! They're pink!!
ReplyDeleteDogs can do so much to heal the human psyche and make them whole again when the world gets to be too hard to handle.
ReplyDeleteDr. Chance, you're the best therapist. Do you make house calls ?....have a great day.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see Chance having such a great time! Dogs are the best medicine for our wounded spirits.
ReplyDeleteGood job, Chance. You are such a good friend to Far Side.
ReplyDeleteOur dogs got some water time too, last night. We all felt great afterwards:)
ReplyDeleteYeah Chance! I love the water!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Far Side is not dead. Love your new header too!
Well, that's pretty simple to make people feel better. Water does have a soothing effect.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking dog.
ReplyDeleteA fun visit like that helps lots of things.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all just needed a cool down.
ReplyDeleteNice post, Chance. I'm glad you got to play in the water and help Far Side feel better.
ReplyDeleteAwwww - sounds like the perfect way to end the day. Nice shots too.
ReplyDeleteI so understand, Chance!1 Nothing better than a swim/splash/play in the water!!!

Yes too many people for too long can drive you crazy. Your water situation looks about the same as ours. Our normally full rivers are so low that the canoes and such won't work in the river.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a bit of lake water and time with you to make a person feel much better. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is wonderful: you caught the reflection perfectly.
