Puppyhood

If you were astute you noticed a puppy in a previous post photo.  Let me introduce her.  She is Hazel Belle, a golden retriever. We purchased her May 4th and promptly took her on a trip to Kimberly, ID.  I remember my family doing the same type of thing when we found Buffy, our bichon frisee puppy, many years ago.

Here's a photo of Buffy and me at Lake Powell.  When Buffy and I were motor boating, not paddle boating, my Dad suddenly slowed the boat because Paul had fallen down waterskiing.  Buffy went over the front end of the boat and the boat continued drifting over him.  (No worries. The prop was not rotating.)  He didn't pop up on either side of the boat, so I jumped in and pulled him from under the hull.
