the bruise

...so we took our dog and k's daughter and her dog for a swim at the local lake on tuesday. it was lots of fun. murphy (m's dog), loves the water, and when he swims all you see is the top of his head bobbing a tiny bit. not a ripple or a splash in sight. wtih kane, tho, not so graceful. see, our boy (to our knowledge) has never been swimming. this was a new experience for us, and him.

so there i was, up to my boobs in the water, holding onto a 55 pound dog who happens to be splashing like a toddler. he climbed up me until he was almost out of the water. seriously.....picture that? !! boy, are his claws sharp. i have a few grand scratches and bruises just about everywhere from this little escapade. but do i give in? no.....i want to see our boy swim. we do this about 6 times, and just at the shore i slipped. not in enough water to permit any bouyency, but landed on a very large, sharp rock. the photos are from the day after(day1) and each day so far. :)





and just for the record, that is my right thigh, nowhere near my butt. (even if it looks like it)  post to be continued ....as the Bruise heals-

beginning to see some skin colour returning. ;)
