Bruno is convinced...

...that his owners built the swimming pool just for him. Willie (his buddy, the poodle) wishes he'd never laid eyes on it. Bruno sees the ball launched into the pool and he's diving in........Willie runs around the edge of the pool, barking at the ball to come to him, as he won't willingly get in the water to retrieve it, no matter how badly he wants to beat Bruno to it. The only way he'll get into the pool is if my brother-in-law picks him up and gently lowers him into it. Then he'll go for the ball and get out of the pool immediately. What a pair! My sister invited Tom and I to come for lunch. It was so nice, as they set up two tables, 8 feet apart, on their upper deck; one for Tom & I and one for she and my brother-in-law. She brought food out onto a separate table and we took turns going to get it. It was great to get to visit, and their house, yard, & newly finished pool area are so beautiful that it's relaxing just to sit and enjoy it all. :))
