Time at the Lake

I did not get a chance to blog so I apologize!

Last weekend we headed to Sauk Centre, MN with Millie, Halle, and Ozzie. A friend of our's lives there on the lake and invited us up to have some fun. We went up Friday night and did not get there until around 7-7:30ish. The girls and Ozzie were very excited to see everyone - we met my sister, Lindsay, and niece, Gabby there who had their dog, Stone. We also met Lindsay's friend, Cindy, and her mom there. Cindy owns Jaeger (Rosco x Millie).

We had a nice dinner while the dogs ran around playing together. The dogs eventually tired themselves out and relaxed a bit inside while we talked and played cards.

Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast. Ozzie and the girls were excited and ready to go. We headed over to the lake and let them swim. This was Millie's second time swimming and she was SO excited when she saw the water. She absolutely loved it. This was Halle's first time seeing water and, to my surprise, she literally jumped right in! I think she was a little surprised at first and had to realize what she had done. Each of the girls did jump off of the dock a couple times, but mostly went from the shore. Ozzie had a blast too! It was his first time seeing water (at almost 12 weeks old). He swam in the water just like the "big dogs" and, of course, went and rolled around in the sand afterwards because that is what puppies do!

We went back to the house to grab a few things and then we went out on the pontoon with Jaeger, Millie, Halle, and Ozzie. Jaeger was "king of the boat" as he enjoyed his spot sitting on top of the seats. Ozzie was TIRED. He had already had such a big day (and weekend!) and he passed out right away and stayed sleeping our entire time on the boat. Millie and Halle enjoyed laying in the sun and sticking their heads out when the boat was moving. This was their first experience on a boat and they loved it. It was a great way to dry them all off too!

After we got back it was almost time for us to head home. It was an hour and a half trip for us so we left around 4 because we had to be back for other plans that night.

Monday was Ozzie's last day here. Jim came to pick him up that evening. Ozzie is living with him and his daughter who absolutely fell in love with him from seeing pictures. He may even keep his name! We are happy that Ozzie has gone to such a great home, but it was definitely hard to see him go.
