From The Past: June 4, 2006

Yesterday, Ashley celebrated her 10th birthday. Her only request was going to Jacobson Park to play. Fortunately, for us, it was an absolutely gorgeous day!

Guido shocked us all by doing something he had never done before – he peed on the leg of Kevin’s jeans as soon as we settled into our chairs. We can only figure there were so many smells of other dogs, he didn’t notice where the pee was landing.

We had only been at the park 20 minutes when Ashley decided she wanted to ride in a paddle boat. She had never been on one before, so Kevin took her while I stayed with Guido.

They were out on the water for a while, but when we spotted them coming back, my dad made the comment that Kevin must be hot because he saw him wiping his face off. As Kevin approached, we saw that he was sopping wet. Come to find out, as he stepped off the side of the boat, it sank and he fell off into the water – jeans, tennis shoes, wallet and all! He was completely soaked. Somehow, none of us witnessed the incident.

He was peed on.

He was dunked.

He was still a happy camper. That’s my Kevin.
