Last week, our daughter Kate and her husband Kevin along with our middle son Patrick came to visit us here in Central Oregon. The weather was blistering and we had 3 very hot dogs between us....one playful puggle, Molly, and our 2 malamutes, 1 year old Griffin and our grand damme, 9 year old Denaya.

We decided to take them to Lake Billy Chinook near here to go for a swim to cool them off. What ensued was a Lucille Ball like episode of me trying to teach Griffin to swim - who knew that he was so petrified of water?
