Summer Days by the Pool

This past weekend was a hot one, so to beat the heat I headed over to my MomMom & PopPop’s house to take a dip in the pool.

Floating around the pool on my raft can be quite enjoyable when the temperatures reach near 90F.

I dubbed myself Captain Ammo and invited my cousins to come play with me aboard my ship flotation device!

My cousin Chase volunteered to be first mate and we embarked on a wild adventure at sea pool.

Chase and I discussed where we thought the buried treasure might be – and we both agreed that it must be under the sea pool.

Our plans to rescue said treasure were foiled though when we realized that I forgot to pack my floaties. AAARRRGH!

Don’t worry though, Mom signed me up for swim lessons so our next adventure will be sure to lead us to gold and riches. 

Did you pack your Swimmies?

ammo the dachshund it's raining cats and dogs

Some of my weekend plans got washed away when a big storm came rolling in on Saturday night.

I’ll admit, I was a little sad that I had to spend most of my weekend inside of the barn instead of hunting groundhogs and running around the farm.

In fact, I was tempted just to park myself in the comfiest spot I could find and ride out the storm.

My plans changed though when Nitro whispered in my ear, “Hey Ammo, Do you think if it keeps raining like this that we might all float away?”

Float away? Float away?

Definitely not on my watch!

And boy did I watch!

And after all that watching nothing got “floated away” – well aside from some of my earthworm pals (but I’m fairly certain they can swim pretty well….I think).

Just as a precaution though I packed my emergency swimmies in mom’s car and my Chincoteague Pony Pals on the farm assured me that they are excellent swimmers. It’s times like these that I’m glad I have friends that were born on an island!
