How sweet ...

... is this picture of our Scrubby?

... and his girlfriend (if they weren't both fixed that is), Bonnie?

It may seem like a small thing, but Scrubs is no small dog. And watching him, while easier as he ages, still means having a big ol' "ogre" as Shane and Linda playfully call him. It's so true. He has such presence. He never blends into the place he is. He goes stomping through it with great gusto.

Before the pool prepares to reopen in May, they do a "dog days" where they allow people to bring their dog to the pool. I was out of town for it, but I was so happy that Shane and Linda took the trouble to take Scrubs to participate. He loves playing at the beach as you can see from this video dating back to a pre-Isaac era. But the pool? Not his cup of tea. I think he would like it better if there was a way for him to get out successfully. Check out this series of shots, proof that this pool thingy is a bad idea:

 I love that Shane made him go in at least once. What fun is just running around sniffing butts the whole time? You gotta at least TRY it. Go Shane!

Splash down!


Trying to get out of the water.
Paws slipping. Linda informed, via email, that Scrubs, and her Bonnie styaed away from Mean ol' Shane the rest of the time they were at the pool. Smart dogs!

Funny. I just watched a "Dog Whisperer" episode with a lab that was OBSESSED with the pool (i.e. couldn't be around it without going, bounding, in).
