Hi Cinnamon!

Guess what? Starting this Friday, I get to spend a whole 11 days at my lake house. It is sooo much fun and I am sooo EXCITED! I love to go down to the lake with my Border Collie buddy, Barney. We have a blast charging in the water and chasing the geese-sometimes they chase us . . . This time, we may even invite my neighbors, Buster the German Wirehaired Pointer and Teddy the Australian Sheppard to join us! I hate to brag, but I am the best swimmer of the whole bunch!

Anyway Cinn-can I call you that 'cause I feel like we're old friends-my mom has been making me study your dock diving pictures. Gosh Cinn, you are really good! The weird part is my mom is expecting me to do the same thing! I don't know if I can-it looks kind of scary. :? But I have been practicing by diving off the side of the pool! So wish me luck! Any tips for success?? I'll post pictures if they're not TOO embarrassing!

With Admiration,
Your friend,
Dakota

Here I am with my buddy Barney!

Hi Dakota!

If you take a running start, you can launch yourself really far. I sometimes try to stop at the edge of the dock and end up falling off. Mom and Dad laugh at me when I do that, but I'd rather run and jump for a bigger splash! I really love it when I get to play fetch. I really get some air then!

Have a lot of fun out there and remember to stand next to your parents when you shake the water off. They need to get wet too!!

My Mom and Dad call me Cinn, so that's fine. My vet says it's a funny nick name. She likes it though and chuckles when Mom calls me that.

Your friend,
Cinnamon
