We decided to take our 15+ year old adopted pound puppy (got him when kids were small) for his first Lake Martin Memorial Day . He has arthritis, cataracts and a lame paw. We thought he'd like to lay around and hear the sounds of the beginnings of summer. Little did we know - he limped/waddled down to the sea wall and fell in (can't see, remember?). Our neighbor scooped him up and pulled him out. Lake Martin must have healing waters like Hot Springs, Arkansas. The dog stayed in and out of the lake the rest of the weekend after he found and easy entrance/exit. Kids next door shot fire works Sunday night and he disappeared. I found him by car headed up Madwind Road, headed back to our Georgia home. Guess he doesn't like fireworks.

The only other problem with that is he smelled like fish all the way home so he got his first bath of the season with tick and flea service. We didn't know it, but we have a lake dog. Won't bring him 4th of July though.
