Rusty can’t help himself. When he’s off the leash, he has to go in the water. The canals between the fields where sheep and cattle graze can get pretty nasty. Thank goodness for the “dog beach,” where the water is clean.
But lately he’s had some skin problems, and we’re trying to keep him on the leash. I let him off to get a photo with the wildflowers, and I wasn’t quick enough to hook him back up. So the next day he got a medicated bath and a shot of antibiotics. I think he thought it was worth it.




I like your title. That is the same thing that I say about Bella!
