I was dumped at the shelter at age 10 1/2. Not house trained, not leash trained, 110 lbs, big, and all black. But luckily German Shepherd rescue picked me up and I went on to have a happy life. I started blogging the moment I arrived in my new home, and kept it up until I ate my last banana.

What I wouldn't do to go swimming with you. I just have a silly wading pool.
I'm sorry you are not feeling very well. When my big sister, Jill, got sick last year and went away, it was pretty tough. She needed lots of help from all of us.
Awww Splashy I'm so sorry you don't have a real pool to swim in. However, to be honest, after 8 swimming lessons I still hate to swim!
So sorry about your sister Jill leaving. We doggies don't know why these things happen it's best just to live from day to day.
Your canine buddy.
Sammy
