Accidental Water Dog

We have had an absolutely wonderful weekend with absolutely no pictures. So sorry! We were able to spend a nice dinner on Friday night with one of our church pastors. Then we had our good friends Brett and Sarah Busenitz over for a game night! I should have taken a picture at this point, but we were having so much fun that I forgot. Our game night was followed by some good ole fashioned sleeping in on Saturday morning before we headed over to Todd and Alicia's to have lunch with our new dinners for eight groups. Then we went and walked around Loose Park with Deuce. We invited Becca Kirkpatrick, one of our great friends from Little Rock, and she brought her dog Alvin.

It was at Loose Park that Deuce became an accidental water dog. The park was pretty deserted because it was kind-of cold and rainy, and Deuce was REALLY interested in some geese on the pond. We decided to just let him off leash and see what he did. He stood on the little rock overhang thing for as long as he could stand it, and then jumped in. As many of you know, Deuce HATES water. I guess the urge to get the geese was just too strong. He completely disappeared under the water and then realized what he had done. Rather than swim to where he could have walked out, he turned around and clung to the rock ledge and waited for David to lift him out. The water still had some ice on the top in places, so I know that it was freezing. I think that Deuce was as shocked about his choice of action as we were.

Today we went to church and then David went with Matt to the golf expo while Dianna and I walked our doggies. Then we were able to sit outside and enjoy the weather for a little while. Lucky for me, my weekend continues on into tomorrow. I really do love the presidents. :)
