Safety first.

I just spent 43 minutes on the phone with AT&T getting my e-mail to work.

Hurray!

And so, to celebrate, I will tell you about The Greatest Thing Ever … which also happens to be Reason Number 986,422,307 Why Cha Cha Needs a Digital Camera Already.

Mr. Wonderful’s wonderful parents have a lake house. On a lake. Filled with water. And Foxie Doxie, Geriatric Poodle and I were invited.

Geriatric Poodle spent the weekend being held by Mr. Wonderful’s delighted mom.

And Foxie Doxie?

Foxie Doxie spent the weekend wearing one of these:

It’s a doggie life jacket. Made for doggies. By a company called … Outward Hound.

I know. I know!

Foxie Doxie spent the weekend riding a boat. And inspecting the boat when it was docked. And swimming. And riding a waverunner. And standing just a bit straighter every time he put on his life jacket.

And Mr. Wonderful and I? We spent the weekend randomly calling out, “Outward hooooound!”
