What I did over Labor Day Weekend

It was another holiday weekend spent up at the cottage in Michigan! That means lots of boating, swimming and playing with my cousins! As soon as we were unpacked, we grabbed our cooler and headed to the boat. I assumed my normal position of riding up top! Mom, of course pulled me down while we were moving and only lets me up to my perch when we are docked. Stupid Mom!
My cousin Layla came along for the ride. She was recently 'fixed' so we were making sure she wasn't licking at her stitches. Check out her super cool bandanna! Her Dad is a police officer and she is proudly supporting Illinois Vest-A-Dog, a super cool group that raises money and donates bullet and stab resistant vests for K-9 Police Dogs! Yeah!!
When you're on the water all day, it can get a bit boring, so a good nap is highly recommended.
Once the boat docks, I'm off and running, back into the water that is! I jump off the shore into the water and beg for Mom and Dad to throw my toy. Once I get my jaws on it, I'm not likely to give it back. He he!
I feel practicing my Michael Phelps like swimming strokes is very important, but even more important is keeping my toy in my mouth while I swim!
Nothing beats a good game of tug. I absolutely REFUSE to give my toy to Dad. Even though he wants to throw it for me, no way, tug sounds like more fun now!!
Hmmm, where did my toy go? Dad, which way did you toss it?
Ahhhh, peach and tranquility. I've got my toy back!
I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend. I'm not looking forward to winter, but will enjoy the remains of summer and then the beauty of fall!
'Till next time,
Kirby

Awesome vacation Kirby. You are an excellent swimmer. I would probably sink like a rock. The boating nap looked so relaxing and nice. Glad you had a great time and loved the bandanna

You are a terrific swimmer Kirby! I bet you could challenge that Michael Phelps any day. Looks like you had a great time at the lake with your family.

Your friend,

Kirby!!! You look great swimming in that lake! And good job keeping a hold on your toy. That would be a pure tragedy if you lost it!

I hope that someday I can be as good of a swimmer as you are! See, I know how to swim, I just choose not to swim. Who knows what's lurking underneath the water!!!!

Hehehehe! Take it easy...did you get a tan?

Slurp!

Make the most of your summer. We really haven't had any summer here in England, far too much rain!

Kirbs!

I'm convinced that you get your buff bod from your dad. But, I bet you can beat him anytime at a game of tug.

Looks like a FAB weekend. Did your mama get to do anything besides be your photographer? I hope so.

Goober love & smooches,
Stanley
