Adventures with George

This weekend Mat and I are in Oklahoma for the Oklahoma City half marathon and to enjoy time with our family and friends. We're staying with our friends, Rob and Sarah, and we brought George along to meet their black lab Callie. I'm not sure about Callie, but George has had a great time so far!

This morning, they found a wet spot in the yard next to the sprinkler, and now there's a big mud pit for them to play in. George became more of a chocolate lab after his fun in the mud! I have never seen him so dirty. (This was taken after swimming in the pond, so he's not near as muddy as he was!)

This afternoon, Rob and Mat took the dogs out to play at some ponds. In the past, George has enjoyed splashing around in water where he can touch but not actually swimming. I guess he figured it was ok to swim today since Callie was enjoying it so much. The guys were throwing a stick in for the dogs to fetch. George swam out to get the stick, but saw something more interesting in the water. He stuck his head under the water and came up with a snake in his mouth! Right about the time Mat figured out what he had, the snake stuck his head up out of the water ready to strike. George was freaked out by the way Mat was calling him, dropped the snake, and got out of the water just in time to miss getting bit. Yikes!
