Schuster is a swimmer. Who knew? On the hiking trail Sunday, Schuey was doing his best to stay with Frollie who was running free when we went down to the water at Silver Creek, just after the bridge. Frollie was on the far side and coming back to us through the water when she hit a deep spot and had to swim for it. Meanwhile Schuey was on his lead and thus with us. The lead is long enough that the two dogs could meet in the middle Of the wide creek. Thus we got to see Schuster and Frollie swimming side by side through the deep part, Schuster with his bright green jacket on, swimming fiercely back to the bank.
At home Schuey tends to stay fairly close to Tio Dexter, the regal beagle. On the hiking trail it's a different matter. He struggles against the lead constantly to keep up with Frollie, the Jack Russell terrier. He is also noisy; he cries piteously from our house to the trail, and frequently sets off the other three so that we arrive at the parking lot in a wave of desperate cacophony, along with squirming, bouncing, and genuine jolly eagerness, announcing our presence: "We're here, folks!"
Good night all, or good morning.
