Harlee and I mowed and weed whacked the park then came home for a refreshing swim!! The dogs just love to leap off the dock!! The water is really their favorite thing. I’m sad our first few swims remembering who’s missing from last year (Reba) and always sad about the antics of GATERPOO Francis who would nip the feet of the diving dogs.  Such great memories we have but they don’t replace the ache left behind by their absence.  At 11 years old Nicki is going strong and could chase her beloved red ball all day.  Sadly she is slowing down ( aren’t we all)  and wants only soft food.  I’m getting her teeth cleaned next week, I’m thinking she must have a bad tooth.  As much as I hate having her undergo a procedure I think it’s really necessary😬
