Oscar at the Beach

Last weekend Oscar and I went to Bear Lake. We went with Tyson and Katy and their dog Lilly. For those who know Oscar he is unfriendly and at times like a cranky old man who feels it unnecessary to make new friends. Lilly who is pictured above is a young puppy who just likes to play and tried very hard all weekend to get on Oscar's good side. It was to no avail.

On both Friday and Saturday we spent lovely afternoon's on the beach swimming. In Oscar's younger day's he wasn't very keen on spending time in the water, but on this trip trotted happily into the oncoming waves. He splashed about and played fetch. As long as his feet touched bottom he remained calm. As soon as he reached deeper waters though he began to thrash wildly like drowning rat and immediately looked to me for rescue.

An enjoyable time was had by all and I am very proud of Oscar's new swimming expertise.
