Swim On!
Three days of family fun, clear pond swims and sweet august air. I love to swim with my dogs. Nash, the worker, is focused on fetching his bumper and Willow, calm and docile, prefers the quiet paddle by my side as we swim together. This is the best. I go under water to watch their legs kick and retract in a methodical, hypnotic and repetitive motion silhouetted by the vastness of a watery clear blue sky. I have to be careful swimming with Nash. He is obsessed with saving me not by climbing on top my head, rather by pulling me to shore. I give him a hand, which he grabs in his mouth, and in a word I say “SHORE” and he beats away towards land.
