June 18: Happiness is the Life of Riley

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. Omar Khayyam

With this splendid summer weather, we have all been enjoying the sparkling pool (much to my satisfaction with all the time spent keeping it that way)! Riley has swum in the pool before but has been anxious about getting in, and his latest trick is to throw his ball in and then whine on the side for someone to fetch it, or stand mesmerized as though it will just hop right back out at him...so, Nic took it upon herself to patiently teach him to safely jump in and retrieve his ball... Needless to say, she has a new best friend, and the life of Riley could not be happier. It's a win-win!!
