Going For a Swim

When Maggie gets restless we take her for a swim in the ocean and for this she is thankful, at least for a few minutes. She has a tendency to get ear infection so she has to be rinsed off to get rid of the salt water.

And no surprise - she hates this step! She will stand quietly but then she begins the pouting phase of this whole adventure. She begs to get into the house and it becomes a contest of wills. I usually break down first! Who knew?

She carries this pout until bedtime and even then she takes control. Who looks out of place in this picture? Maybe this is why we call her "Queenie"!
