You got swimmin' you got swimmin' on your mind

My 2lggd mom sent another video postcard from Afortunado in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. This one is of uncle Pirate swimming in their swimming pool. Bling is there too, but she just watches. Shelley, who was my first 2lggd mom, is throwing. I would like to have a swimming pool like Pirate and Bling, but I guess the ocean will do. Mom says I should learn to climb a ladder like Pirate, 'cause then I would be able to get back onto the boat when we are living on the ocean.

I'd like to have access to a pool to teach Emma to dive! Perhaps I'm wrong, but I imagine it would be easier to learn to swim underwater in fresh water (vis a vis, eye comfort). And I would think visibility would be important too.

Postcards from Wisconsin

My 2lggd mom sent me this video postcard from Wisconsin. It's my MOM!!! My REAL MOM, my 4LGGD mom! And Auntie Tip, and Uncle Pirate. And a lot of other Porties I do not recognize, but Mom (2lggd that is) tells me they are all my relations. (Sigh) looks like fun. I wish she'd taken me with her, but she says dogs can't come into her mom and dad's condo building in Minneapolis, so I'm staying home with Dad. He leaves me with Buffy for a playdate every morning, and plays chuckit till I drop every evening before dinner.

It was too bad I couldn't bring Emma along. Shelley and Bob Plucker would've enjoyed seeing her (she looks really good). I wasn't the only one of their puppy people joining them for dinner that evening. There was another visitor passing through town as well, WITH her dogs. So the yard was full of PWDs. A lovely evening.
