A Merry Tale - Ester Williams in the pool
Last year we visited our friend, who had just finished a 2-year full time restoration of a huge magnificent mansion with a park-like garden to go with it. We were invited for dinner and the dogs were of course invited too. But before we went in to this immaculate house "the girls" were only going to have a quick run around the park. The park is huge and has a pond (with very dirty water).

 
 Water, water!!….
A welsh must not pass a pond at any time without plunging right in and have a ball (rule number one in the welsh rule book). They came back to us (we were dressed up for dinner) with a nice mix of water and clay covering every inch of their body. They were very happy! We...were not so happy (that is, we tried to sound angry, which is hard when you´re full of laughter).

  I think I might try the pool…
As if this was not enough, Toy decided she wanted another bath while she was wet (and extremely dirty). So she dived elegantly into their, newly cleaned, swimming pool before we could catch her. She was swimming around looking like Esther Williams. As she did so, the once nice clean water adopted a strange brownish colour (and dads face a strange reddish colour).
Eventually (only 45 minutes late) we had a lovely dinner with 3 damp, but happy, welsh girls sleeping by our feet
