I went real swimming today, and this time not scare my Mommy jump off a dock swimming.  She took me to the lake at the doggie park with my friend Chip (chocolate lab) and our Mommies threw sticks for us to get.  It was my first real swimming.  I was scared at first, I wasn't sure what to do and I couldn't get my stick!  But I couldn't let my stick get away so I swam for it!  I did it 3 times, not too much because its still kinda chilly in the water and I was just learning.  Chip went in a lot, he loves the water! 

Mommy is proud of me!  afterwards I rolled in dirt!

Hope everyone else is enjoying the nice spring weather!

For contestants in the egg hunt,

When turning in your submission please try to list the actual name of the pet, not the used screen name.  Exclusions would be groups of animals that is ok to use the screen name.

Also it is not necessary to number the entries (just makes it a little easier on me)

Good luck to everyone, and dont forget to turn in your submission no later than Easter Sunday, but you dont have to wait till then, turn it in when you have it done.

For anyone considering a homemade diet because of the scares:
