Manford's First Swim

So, I graduated from Winona State University this last weekend with a B.A. in Mass Communications and a minor in History, and am currently searching for a full-time position with a newspaper. 

Until then the blog will be filled with random happenings in my life, and possibly some random self-assigned assignments that I give myself. We'll see. 

Anyways, earlier this afternoon Lauren and I took my parents puppy, Manford, to the lake for his first time. The water was still a little too cold for us to enjoy, but Manford loved every second of it.

He was a little bit timid at first, but quickly started frolicking in the water and sticking his head under.

Once he was comfortable with the water we started playing fetch with him.

He loved it.

I'm pretty sure Manford would have played fetch in the water until he died from exhaustion, but we left after about 20 minutes-or-so of swimming and playing fetch. 

Here are some photos from the lake, some from a walk the other day and some of my mom's horses. Enjoy and thanks for looking.
