Weekend in Connecticut

Everyone had a great time during our weekend in Connecticut visiting "the guys."  Beer pong -- ahem, Beirut -- was played, football games were won (though, sadly, not by Bill), and lobster rolls were thoroughly enjoyed.  Unlike in some past years visiting Bill's high school buddies, this year the weather was perfect!

All in all, Tenley was a hit....though she did take a special liking to Tara's leg and Adam's crotch, which they were both really nice about.  Sam's house was under construction, which made it fun for Tenley to run around and explore.  

On Saturday, she -- finally! -- learned to swim.  Sam's grandparents have a pool and Tenley loved that she could step in slowly.  At first she'd splash the water with her paws, try to eat the splashes....and then she'd lose momentum and start to sink.  But after a few minutes, she figured it out and found her calling in life.   

One special moment came when Sam's grandparents came out to ask us if we needed anything and Tenley ran out of the pool to poop on the lawn.  I said, "yes a plastic bag would be great."   I'm really hope they didn't see why I needed one.

Sadly, Tenley's new swimming skill did not diminish her love for bathtubs.
