Pooky, The Pond Dippin' Doober
 | These two photos are taken at the
lower pond. Pooky likes to retrieve this huge branch.
|
 | When he was small and just learning
to swim, I would toss this branch out
and he would struggle to retrieve it,
but he couldn't. Now he man-handles it. |
 | This is the upper pond that is home
to our catfish. This is where we introduced Pooky to the water as we fed the catfish.
|
 | I would give Pooky a bite of catfish
food and then throw a handful into
the pond. Eventually, he went in after it. |
