"You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself."

A little kingdom I possess, where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find of governing it well.

Willie Takes A Swim

Since we moved into the new house last March, we've been a little worried about what would happen if Willie fell into the pool. We'd had a pool before, but since then Willie has grown older (he's almost 16 now) and his eyesight and hearing have become very poor. We took him swimming with us a couple of times this summer, but we kept it at a minimum because the old dog just can't paddle like he used to (I'm sure most of you understand).

Today I went to Lowe's and Sprouts to pick up a few things, and when Willie met me at the door, lo and behold, it was pretty obvious that he had taken a dip. And wouldn't you know that I just cleaned my floors YESTERDAY. That's okay though. I'm just happy to know that he was able to find his way out.

PS He says the water is still nice if any of you want to join him.

Daddy's Home!

This is the daily routine which includes Willie's token 1 minute burst of energy. Notice how the new wood floor doesn't dampen his exuberance.

Old Dog, Old Trick

I promise this is the last video like this I'll post. Right now it is still so darn funny every time I see it happen that I can't resist. This time was not a set up. He happened to decide to go out right before the sprinklers came on, and I followed him with video camera in hand.


Willie gets it up the wazoo. In High Def.
