Big Day!

Today was a big day for Hilde. Not only can she go down the stairs, but she also went for her longest walk to date. We walked all the way to the woods (about 1/4 mile) and then down the path to the lake! Get this...

Hilde swam today!!! Ray threw a stick in and she got in a little deeper than we thought she would go and she swam! It was pretty cute. When she came out of the water she looked so funny. She is such a fluffy dog, she looks so funny with that fur all wet. The lake has a teeny hill by it which is all dirt and sand. Hilde thought it was great fun to slide down the dirt/sand/mud hill on her tummy. She was a horrible, dirty, filthy mess-- but in a good way.

SO Hilde got a bath this evening. She was not pleased with it. She stayed in the tub like a good girl, but she clearly was not enjoying the bath. Stay tuned for pictures of the bath. As I type now she is sound asleep. Thank goodness.
