sadie swims!

I just spent a little over a week in Holland, Michigan at my parent's fabulous beach side retreat. I delight in the quiet, natural sounds of Michigan. We spend lazy days reading, lounging in the sun, walking the beach, cooking, and this year swimming with Sadie. She has really taken to the water but is not what you would call a natural in the water. She has reinvented the way that dogs swim, her preferred method is a cross between walking and paddling. If the water is too deep to touch the bottom she frantically swims back to shore. As her back legs walk on the bottom her front paws paddle, or maybe you want to call it splash, at the surface. Regardless, we had a great time playing with her!
