back to myself again

This here is Emma. She is a very fancy Poodle with a remarkable hair cut and lots of ribbons. She has a brother named Monty who is 13 and he was looking good too. We saw Amber on our way to the river. She seems to have made a remarkable come back after being so sick. Hooray. Down at the river there was the 2 Poodles I already mentioned. When I first got there Pearl and Duke were leaving but than ran back to the water with me. I was the center of of Yellow Lab sandwich. While we were there I was reminded that Duke is doing this really cool scientific thing. They take his blood and saliva every so often to figure out some stuff I don't get. All I know is that my buddy Duke is a scientist. While at the river a ton of dogs showed up. Bella, Cody, Manny, Buddy, Sadie, Daisy (Golden) and Mel. Thee was so much splashing and ball chasing and jumping it was a blast. We left the beach and saw Denver the Aussie. She was not feeling well last year but she looks great now. She can jump wicked high in the air to catch sticks. I think she does it just because she likes to. We saw Jack the Ridgeback at the bottom of the hill. We stopped and talked awhile. I really like him because he is as big as me. My person was telling Jack's person about Mimi's possible surgery. My person says she is wondering how Mimi is going to walk on crutches? Good question! So, we walked the rest of the way with Manny. I found out the most amazing thing. Manny and Bosco are brothers. Like from the same litter brothers not just same family live together brothers. You know they look a lot alike! It was fun walking with Manny. He had a ball and mostly I just sort of hung out with him. There was a little running and stuff but I had already done a lot at the beach.

We saw Devil on the way out. I always think that is a funny name for him because he does not seem like a devil. Of course, he is not an angle like me either. We also saw my BDFF Daisy on the way out. I have to get a walk in with her some day soon. I was relaxed and care free today. It was a great walk and I am glad to be home with my family. Living together bros and sisters are a very cool thing to have. I have a lot of them. Love a person just because it feels good.
