"Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But if you turn your attention to other things, It comes and sits softly on your shoulder."

~Maddie Girl~

If you have read my "about me" section you will notice that I reference our golden retriever puppy Maddie as a fish. And after you hear about what she did yesterday you will see why.
I got home from work to hear Zac on the phone with his mom (who lives beside us and doggysits for us during the day). Apparently, Maddie girl decided it was too hot out and she needed to take a dip in the river.  Mind you the river is actually across the road from our house. She has never ventured outside of the yard before, but she thinks of running off from us a game sometimes and yesterday was no different. When Zac's mom realized she was no longer in the yard, she assumed that Maddie may have taken a stroll to our house, but when she didn't find her there she started to panic. Zac and I were both still at work and she was convinced that she wasn't going to find her. She drove down by the river and low and behold there was Maddie shooting out of the river. Maddie just got a bath on Saturday and needless to say the river water has quite a stinch. She knew that she was caught.
This isn't the first time that Maddie has taken a dip somewhere she wasn't supposed to. I took her to my parents a few weeks ago. They have a pool... Maddie had never been in a pool before and she wasn't supposed to get in their's either. My mom turned her head and before she knew it Maddie was in the pool...on top of the solar blanket. It was unlike any water she had been in before and she didn't like the way it felt.
I am not about to make this blog anything like "Marley and Me", but I do have to share cute stories like this about our "kid", because that is who she is! We love her!
