Memorial Day Weekend and Chloe's injury

First weekend at the lake in 2010! We had a great time boating, fishing, playing in the sand, being outside, shopping, eating, celebrating Pete’s birthday (after we got home from the lake). The only bummer… Chloe got hurt. Those of you who have seen Chloe in the water know that she LOVES the water. She is 10 years old and acts like a pup every time she gets near water. She can launch 15 feet of the dock to fetch toys. Pete was tossing a stick to Chloe and Hula Girl on Saturday and Chloe went under the dock and sliced her head open down to her skull. Surprisingly, she did not bleed…. Can you believe that? Pete hurried her to the animal hospital in Brainerd where she needed to stay the night to get stitched up. She has 7 pink stitches on her head. The injury hasn’t seemed to faze her at all. We left the lake Sunday (somewhat planned) which was a good thing since Chloe can not be in the lake for 2 weeks. Anyway, we got home and she is doing great.

Happy 39th Birthday, Pete! His birthday was Sunday and with everything going on, his day was not as special as he probably was hoping it would be. We will make it up to him soon! Love you, Bub!
