Today at the dog park, I decided I felt like swimming some laps.  Before I got in, I had to find the perfect entry point, because I don't like just jumping right in.  I finally found a good spot to slide in, and the water felt nice and brisk. I just swam around in circles for a while.  Elise kept saying she didn't want to come in and save me if I got tired out in the middle of the river, but I have quite a bit of stamina.  Sometimes dogs would go by and just watch me swim for a few minutes.  I think they were trying to figure out if there was something cool in the water, that I was chasing, but I was just swimming for the hell of it.
