I just watched Rosie walk over to the back fence. She looked down and the creek -- which is roiling and rag ingafter all these days of rain -- and I could feel waves of longingcome up from her. And, then she just started barking. Big, deep, irritated barks.
She clearly wanted to go swimming. NOW!
Of course, that's not an option for her -- not today but really not anymore. She's old and feeble now and if the swim didn't do her in, the climb up and down the hill would.
But, she used to really love to go for a swim. It makes me sad to see her so unable to do that -- she used to love it so. Sweet girl.
