Camping

This weekend we decided to head down to Clinton Lake and try out all our camping gear. We had a great time and Callie absolutely loved the water. Below are some pics and a video.



You can barely see her but she is just off my left shoulder.




As we were getting ready for bed, Sara noticed several large slugs attached to her kennel and food dish. Unsure what a slug might do to her if she ate it, Sara (we) broke down and let her in the tent to sleep with us. She did very well but we have no plans for her to get in a habit of sleeping with us!!!

Looking forward to heading back to Iowa to ride a few days of RAGBRAI.

Another Weekend

Justin and I have been having a ton of fun. We went swimming yesterday. When we walked in the pool it was crowded but, soon there was a storm a brewing. Everyone left and we waited it out. Our determined mindset paid off because when the sun came out again, no one was in the pool anymore and I had it all to myself. I could pull out the old tricks from when I was 6. Fun times! Justin counted how long I could hold my breath underwater, I did some handstands, front flips, and diving for things on the bottom of the pool floor. It was fun to relive childhood.

Callie continues to entertain us. For some reason though she will not walk with me. She only goes on walks with Justin. Yesterday morning I tried and tried and tried to get her to go on a walk with me. I was determined not to let her win. Despite the fact that the neighbor was watching my every move I continued to look like a moron when I tried to coax her on a walk and she laid down in the grass. Here is the part that annoys me....when I did give up, and turned around, she went into a dead sprint back to our house. What a stinker!

Callie, Callie




Our new puppy puts smiles on our faces! She is so clumsy that she routinely trips over herself and her legs give out from under her. It is so cute! Justin and I try to hold her as much as possible because we know those days are numbered as she will grow and grow and grow...just take a look at her ginormous paws and you will instantly know she will be a BIG DOG. She is learning to walk on a leash, retrieve balls and frisbees and sit. She is getting good at walking as she gets two walks a day. The other things, well only time will tell how those go.
