The Lake was almost unbearably quiet this year. With just me, my sister, three members of our cousin’s family, and Grandma, it was a far cry from the usual chaos of ten cousins and two aunts and two uncles and various other visitors. Add into that the sad fact that I got really sick during the trip, and it was almost depressing, really. But it’s such a beautiful place, and I love it there.
I am a cat person. In fact, I can emphatically say that I am not a dog person. I got cast as Aunt Pearl Burras in the high school’s spring production of Greater Tuna, and I have to admit that the one trait I can best relate to in that completely insane old lady is her manic hatred of dogs.
However.
There are a very few dogs that somehow, somehow make me almost want to reconsider. Ranger and Roger—my cousin’s corgis—are two of them.
They are so much fun. Ranger (blue leash) loves to play tug-of-war with sticks, and my little sister Amy never gets tired of walking Roger on the red leash. :)
