john said boxers don't like water. boxers don't swim. i'm soul glad i didn't listen to him, well i did, but i forgot, and lulu forgot too. 
today we went back to the beach by the point and the water was mysteriously cleaner, and people were there and one girl ran up and swam and ran off again and other people watched us and i really swam this time and what a joy to have a dog swimming partner again mister would be so proud and happy and no bugs or a couple bugs and no life guards bugged us though a couple said hi and some girls sat on the stone wall and watched us and had a picnic and said oh you're leaving and i said yeah she didn't want to but we gotta go sometime she could swim all day now and she's a fine swimmer and she swims way out there on her own and the blue squeaky ball is brilliant to call her and i'm gonna try it with little bear tomorrow. a couple days ago i was in a brown study but today i was sunny sky blue.
