Camo Swim

I worked hard this weekend! Lots of training. Dad told me I only have 2 months to get ready. Little Bits (Jewel) got her booster for her snake vaccine and limes. So she is ready to go into the desert too.

Saturday was swim day! I finally fit into my camo vest with flotation tubes on the side. Dad says, like I have said before, that I am a great swimmer, but now I just need to show interest in the buck. He says I get out there and swim like nobodies business - but the buck is a non-issue for me right now. I'll get it, I know I will! Dad says I will get it too and that sometimes it just takes time. He says that I am eager to please and that works in his favor and mine.

Today, Dad and I went out to Miller Island to train. There were lots of teams of hunters and their dogs. Where we went though it was just us. I worked hard. Dad said I did good until I got tired. When I got tired I grabbed the buck and sacked out in the grass. Dad thought that was pretty funny.

This afternoon Dad, Mom, Jewel and Me went out to Robinson Butte to look for wild strawberries and a bear or two. No berries, no bears, but plenty of butterflies! Mom said the strawberries are late in coming and may not show at all. There were a few on the ground that in a week or two will be red and ready to eat, but not as many as in years past. We sniffed and sniffed, got treats, some love and some water. No bears.

Jewel got sick on the way home..poor girl. Mom told Dad it was his driving...it was really bumpy and twisty turny out where we were. Jewel and I curled up and didn't wake up until we went by the nudist watering hole out in the woods. There were tons of naked people laying about this big crater in the ground. The water looked so good - I really wanted out to go play! I don't care about a bunch of people without their clothes on. They wouldn't let me out of the truck! Can you believe it? Mom said that it might be best if I didn't wreak havoc on their peaceful afternoon in the sun. Me? Wreak havoc!?! Well, maybe just a little - it would have been fun to run through all those naked people!

I am Hugh
