our beloved ariel

Ariel was the first dog we got together ... we did all kinds of research on the perfect dog.  I was struggling to be a 'dog person' and thought we couldn't go wrong with Ariel ... and basically we didn't.

She tends to get sick, have ear infections, and smells ... but she really is the best dog ever!

Curt recently found the book we bought when researching Newfoundlands and was showing it to Piper this morning explaining all about the breed and what they are trained to do, etc.  One of the things they are bred for are rescue swimming and it reminded me to dig out this movie ...

This is up at the lake a couple of summers ago ... enjoy!
