Teamwork is the Name of the Game

When it comes to water retrieval, sometimes I take the lead... 

Sometimes I let my team member do the heavy lifting... 

 

And sometimes it's a joint effort. (and no, this wasn't staged)

 

No matter how we do it, we deliver the goods.

And boy am I proud!

Water Dog Overboard!

Here I am, sporting my dashing life preserver. Note the crucial handle at the top, the better to pull me back up into the boat...

 

Just one small issue...on account of the sweltering day, I was NOT wearing my new duds all day long. And when we anchored, I took matters into my own hands and jumped off the front of the boat for a quick dip.  Refreshing indeed though reactions to my spontaneous outburst were mixed.

  

When Nature Calls

Don't get me wrong--the boating was great fun--but I found myself wondering when these jokers were going to stop cruising the high seas and give me some relief.

Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush

We weren't chasing our tails -- we were chasing each other!  We invented this captivating game and it was not only fun, but exhausting! The only negative was the obnoxious lawn-mower in the background, but the noise was short-lived.

The New Paparazzo'd Pooch

Thunder guest-blogging here. This photo is my visual shout-out to my peeps, J & J & S & S.  I miss you lots but I'm having a great time!

Buoy Buddies

I took care of the main water retrieval but then Thunder helped me bring the buoy onto dry land. We're the buoy boys, after all.

Next Time, Leave the Water Rescue to Me

Before the cameras started rolling, she pretended to flail around in order to see if I would take the bait. Well, of course I did! Water rescue is in my blood.  Not so sure about hers though...she may have been trying to encourage me, but she was making it hard for me to swim!

Lust for Life

It just doesn't get any better than this.

 

Mixing It Up

We took in some culture and dropped in on the local photo gallery.

Mini Me

I met this cute-as-a-button youngster on our way back home.
