16 hours at home!

I am home!!! I came back last minute with a fellow lifeguard who was driving back for a family party and tonight we are going back up, but it has been so nice. Finn flew through the house and jumped all over me and we've had a wonderful day together! Here we are: I think Finn has lost all her winter fur since I've been gone and now she looks much sleeker! Look at that neck! haha

 

and then...

Finn insisted on her favorite carrying position:

<3 YAYYY!!!! <3

from the mountains....

Hi everybody! I hope your summers are all going well-- I am up working at camp and so far, so good! I've only had to jump into the pool to a get kid once (knock on wood knock on wood!), and my room mate is really nice. I called home for Father's Day today and after talking to my dad for a while he put me on speaker phone and had me talk to Finn for a while. He said she did that cute little head cock back and forth thing that I love... I am sure you know the one. I can't wait for her to come up here with my folks and visit me!!

There are a few dogs up here with the management and I am always really excited to see them. Probably too excited; they must think of me as the crazy lifeguard girl who is nutso for dogs. But I miss Finn so much, and getting to pet a dog is like staving off serious withdrawl pangs. I talk to them, and pet them and try to hang out as long as possible :) There is Hunter, who's 13 and has the same birthday as his owner. His owner said the only time Hunter hasn't gone with him somewhere was his honeymoon :) He rides around in a golf cart all day and then comes and roams by the lake. Then there's Abby, who hangs out near the lumber and maintenance yard, and she belongs to the head of outdoor crew. She's a lanky lab mix with long legs and is reallllly nice. And then there is Lika, who belongs to the lodge a mile up the road, and ambles down to go swimming in the lake and wander around-- he is a stocky chocolate lab and is always wagging his tail so hard the whole of him wiggles, and he loves to come when we have to lure him away from lessons and stuff. It's a good dog crew!

So that's it for now... hopefully I'll see Finn up here soon and have some more to post!! All the best!!

Summer time is here...

Summer is here!! And I am heading off to work.... I am going to be life guarding and teaching swim lessons at a family camp for the next few months, and my access to internet is quite limited. I will be able to update a few times a month, though, which is better than I had originally thought! YAYY!

The hard part is, of course, that Finley is not allowed at camp :*( But, she is going to stay home, with Mom and Dad and Westly and Fiona and have a great time. And every month she's going to go up with my parents and camp (for her first time ever! aww) near my work and visit meee!! It's a pretty perfect system. As much as I wish she could be my shadow at the lake and pool, I think she's going to have a better time here.

She still wants to come, though. I think she can tell I am going again-- the same suitcase and duffel as usual are out and she has been following me around. She is one smart cookie!

So-- my mom has graciously agreed, and is excited, to post pictures of Finn's camp adventures and summer excursions with the fam while I am up at camp! And I'll pop in from time to time when I drive into town and get on the wifi.

Everyone have an amazing summer!! Much love to your corgis!! I'll be back soon :)
