Swimming Lessons

Well this weekend we went to the lake again and I was so proud of Jake because he (almost) learned to swim like a real dog! We had previously blamed his obvious lack of swimming ability on his breed, whose purpose was to track and fight lions in Africa. Not too much water there. But the lake was really low so both the dogs could walk pretty far out and Jake was more adventurous in the water. At one point he actually swam without being cajoled, and there was much less thrashing and splashing.


The weekend was pretty relaxing, and we spent a little time wakeboarding on Saturday. The rest of the time was spent just sitting around. Though at one point we discovered a bat that had chosen the eaves on the back of the house to spend his day sleeping. He was very cute, but he didn't come back the next day.
