She doesn't care much for the water, unless she is thirsty.  She ran all over the beach at Au Train Bay - tired herself out.  She plays hard.  Doesn't seem to know she is a senior citizen!  We sure can learn from our doggy dog:  

• Never pass up the opportunity to go for a ride (to the U.P.!!!)
• Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstacy.
• When loved ones come home, always run to greet them
• When it is in your best interest, always practice obedience
• Let others know when they've invaded your territory
• Take naps and always stretch before rising
• Run, romp and play daily
• Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
• Be loyal
• Never pretend to be something you're not
• If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it
• When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently
• Delight in the simple joy of a long walk
• Thrive on attention and let people touch you
• Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
• On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree
• When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body
• No matter how often you are criticized, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout.  Run right back and make friends.
