ollie here, I had one of those.........

[Roberta]

some good some bad morning, first no Auntie Jane for walks, mum made a blankie for a wee girlie going in for surgery, the it turned good...............lizard hunting, then Auntiejane called and mum took me down da hill to help her bring da big boys up for the day. So when we got up da dam I went for a swim yes SWIM in the rotten sticky water, then the big boys decided to follow me in, so mum had to come and get me out as Lommond was real curious about me, that led to the worst part I got another BATH to get rid of the stinky dam water.
Wee Ollie

Lommond, preparing to get his footies wet and why mum wanted me out

LOOKIT OLLIE he is swimmin' like a little beaver boy!   :headbang:  Very impressive Oliver! Was it hot out? He looks like he was having a ball. And worth having to get a bath in the end.
Great pics Roberta! Love the one of Lommond splashing. Did he try to roll? I'm glad you got the red boy before the big boy got too close to him, gave auntie DD some palpitations! Who is the wee one having surgery, I am guessing you meant pupper or is it hooman?

[Roberta]

It was a wee bit hot and sticky, and Oliver had been running around like a blue A fly.
The little one is a 2y r old who has been having numerous fits and its come down to brain surgery or coma if left, Tayla is on of Janes co-workers wee one. I'm going down to take some shots of her with her dog and pony as her mum wants some shots in case something happens (I have told Dawn I am not a professional phtotographer, but Dawn said she has seen all the ones I send Jane and wants normal shots not posed). Tayla is a girlie girl who love PINK so I've done a small cuddle rug edged in pin with lots of raw edge applique  pink flowers on it.
Huon joined Lommond and Jane and I got soaked, I've never seen them roll, but seen the outcome...........Jane said huon does roll at the beach, maybe the sand................duh. The funny thing was I had worn Nicks straw...........yes straw wide brimmed hat, and both wanted to eat it.............

I LOVE that photo of Lommond splashing in the water-what a beautiful shot!

[DeeanDave]

Ollie, Sarge and Duggie are very impressed with your swimming!  Looks like you use your tail as a rutter to guide you in the water!!  Love the pictures of you swimming....and Roberta, the picture of Lommond splashing in the water is priceless!  I love it!!

[BonniesMom]

Hey DD, we had the same thought.  Ollie looks like a little beaver swimmin'.  BEAUTIFUL pictures Roberta.  I set one for my at work computer. 

[Leslie]

WOWEE!  Looks like piles of fun. Mum is no fun makin' you get the wonderful stink off. Next time be sure you roll around in the sand and weeds while you are still wet.    Zuzu

Looks like fun!!   Ollie looks like a great swimmer.   The shot of Lommond splashing in the water is great!!  What a beautiful horse!   

[Barb]

LOL - DeeDee - I immediatly thought beaver !!!  GREAT pictures !!!! 

[Dee Dee and Hallie]

Poor little girl will be praying for her. Would love to see some of the shots you take if it's OK for you to post them here. Would also love to see the blanket you made her!

LOL I can envision you running from Clydesdales trying to keep your straw hat safe. We have taken my cousins horses to the beach a few times and they love to take a good roll in the sand also. Horses are so funny.

We'll have to start calling Ollie "The Beav"

[Roberta]

I will DD, I'm going to he big smoke to-day and going to look at lense so, will keep you informed.
Lommond is going to be a stunner when he fully fills out more. I'ts hard to believe a.You can stand under his head when he is at halt b. his head is the size of my body.
Oliver was very tired as he then went back to Lizard hunting while I mowed till he had his shower.

dis is Parker:   Ummmmm Ollie, stay outta da water, doxies can't swim. You is berry lucky you didn't melt. An about dat big doxie (it's bigger den Amber da lab). Does dat big doxie sweep in your bed? I bets you gets no blankies. Berry stwange.

[Brekkesmom]

All I can say is "wow" and I also loved the piccy of Lommond splashing!  How does one pronounce the "Huon"?  I've no Gaelic - all I learned was "cead mile failte" and "Erin go bragh"!
