To modify Oscar Wilde…
“I can resist anything except temptation … and water!”
Oscar (my dog) stood and stared at the water, but in the end, the joy of jumping in was too great!
Can you think of a better way to start off your day?

Lady Fi: Don’t you wish you had that freedom, like Oscar, to just jump in. I imagine the water is still pretty cold.

Dogs are the best. I learn from them.
We babysat a friend’s puppy last night , together with our little guy the two of the them made me laugh and enjoy the evening in a way only animals can sometimes.
Oscar is beautiful.

I love Oscar’s expression. We have a 1/2 lab retriever who pushes the little ones out of the way so that he can sit first in the little kids wading pool.
