Fishing

We went fishing today and I got to meet Mommie's friends' doggies. They were two labs. One black and one yellow. They were really big. I tried to sniff their behinds but I could not reach them coz they were tall. At first I was really intimidated. I did not understand why she wanted me to go to them. So I hid behind her legs. But they were nice. I did not like it when the black one put his paws on my back. It was too heavy so I barked at him. He did not do it again. The other one was always sleepy. By noon we were both sleeping under a bench coz it was too warm. I saw lots of fishies. We were at a dock where they were fishing. We saw some bass but they were not biting. Just swimming around. I put my paws on the edge of the dock so that I could see better. I saw a big worm swimming on the surface of the water. Eventually it got boring so I just played with an empty water bottle. I chased it around the dock. It was fun! Mommie plans to get me more empty bottles to play with. She was regretting bringing me coz in the morning I was all muddy. The dew on the grass made my legs wet and the soil made them muddy. She was thinking I might need another bath. I looked so dirty. But she figured she would just brush me before heading home to lessen the dirt I would bring back to the house. In the afternoon, she got the brush out and was surprised that I was already clean. The mud dried and fell off already while I was playing so I was good to go. She was pleased to see that. She had read some articles that said American Eskimos, even though we are white, are pretty easy to maintain because we have no doggie smell and we have a oil on our coats that pretty much prevents dirt from sticking to us. Now she believes the article.
