Savannah's Puppy Diary

Water! Lots of Water! It was like an Ocean even though Momma was calling it a Pond. And the Best Part was that I jumped Into the Pond and Got All Wet and Momma stood there holding my Pink Velvet Leash and saying Oh Savannah Savannah Savannah You're Going To Get All Wet In There. Well Momma was Wrong because by the time she Said That I was Already Good and Wet.

Momma walked me up The Road to Jim and Judy's so I could Play with their company's dog Lupin who is visiting from a place called Colorado. We met Lupin yesterday when we walked up The Road and Lupin and I ran in the Grass after a Toy that Lupin's Daddy kept throwing out into The Grass. Momma didn't like that I was Running in the Tall Grass at Jim and Judy's yesterday because she said Heaven Only Knows What Sort Of Snakes Are In That Grass but I wasn't watching for Snakes I was just Running after Lupin and it was So Much Fun! And today was Even More Fun!

This afternoon after the Tea Ladies went home Momma walked me up The Road to Jim and Judy's again and there was Lupin Running and Playing in the Grass by their Pond and next thing I knew Lupin was Running Into The Pond and Momma was saying Good Girl Savannah Good Girl because I stopped at the Edge of the Pond and didn't Go In. But then Lupin Ran again and Ran Faster and then she Ran Really Really Fast and I was Following her and Lupin Jumped Into The Pond with a Big Splash and I just Followed Lupin and made a Big Splash of my own and I could hear Momma saying Oh My Savannah I Just Brushed You And You Were Nice And Clean And Now You're Going To Smell Like That Pond.

But it was So Much Fun! I didn't even Know that I could Swim but I kept Swimming behind Lupin and making Splashes and More Splashes and Miss Judy and Bella were there and I was waiting for Bella to Jump In The Pond also but she's so Small that Lupin might have thought that little Chihuahua was a Toy and could have Grabbed her and Carried her out of The Pond so maybe Bella was Smart to stay in the Tall Grass and Not Jump Into The Water.

Everybody around the Pond was Laughing and Clapping and saying Look At Those Dogs Go Aren't They Having The Time Of Their Lives and there was my Momma still holding my Leash and telling Jim and Judy and Their Company that if Momma wanted a Dog who Jumped Into The Pond she would not have bought me a Pretty Blue Collar and a Pink Velvet Leash she would have Just Settled for a Plain Old Rope.

Miss Judy looked at Momma and said that Savannah Is Sure Going To Sleep Well Tonight and Momma said she  Sure Hoped So and I looked at Momma to see if she was Still Upset with me for Barking In The Middle Of The Night and Waking Up The Entire State Of Texas At Three O'Clock In The Morning even though there were No Zombies stealing my Blue Monkey but I think Momma has Forgotten all about That and Now Momma is probably Upset With Me because I Jumped Into The Pond with Lupin and Got All Wet.

But It Was So Much Fun!  More fun than the Little Blue Pool that I had with Puppy #1 because The Pond has So Much More Water and the Spashes Are So Much Bigger!

And I Know How To Swim!  I Can Swim!

And I Don't Think I Smell Too Much Like The Pond but I don't exactly Smell Like Momma's Sweet and Clean Savannah either. Momma told me that A Bath Is In My Future and I don't know what a Bath is but Momma said We'll See How Much You Like Splashing In The Water When It's Bath Time Miss Savannah.
