The River Incident

This entry was written by my mom. She said that this was so funny that she had to write about it. I don't really know what was so funny about it.
She says that she'll let me write some on my own too. Good! Because this is MY spot not hers. It's all about me. I'm pretty special you know.



We have a special spot that we go to. Sadie and me.
And my brother and his dog.
And whichever child I can make go with us. And that totally depends on their boredom level at the moment.

Sadie loves this place so much.
It's a place that we call "the point".
There is a little piece of sand by the river that people all over town go to.
There are boats there. Seadoos. Canoes float by.
Even a Hovercraft. Which is very noisy.
Everyday we see people fishing there, too.
There is also one family who seems to be there whenever we are.
Sadie introduced herself to the mom by running at her at full force and jumping up on her butt. She had white shorts on that day. I cringed.
Luckily, the lady laughed.
This lady has 2 gorgeous little girls who seem to adore Sadie.
The girls love to take turns throwing Sadie's Wizzo out into the water. They are so proud of their throws and Sadie makes them laugh as she runs out on the sand bar to catch her Wizzo. Sadie looks like a dolphin when she runs through the the water. It's beautiful to watch.

Yesterday, though, the beauty took a turn for the worse.
I was on the shore with my daughter's friend's non-lab dog who was not liking the water at all.
Sadie was out in the water with my brother and all her fans and I heard my brother calling my name.
I looked over and there was Sadie....
In the water. All crouched over in a position I knew too well.
omg.
She was pooping in the river!!! half under water.
Well I cracked up.
Which I shouldn't have done and my first thought was, "I'm glad it's him and not me in there with her." Which it shouldn't have been.
My brother yelled at me to get a bag.
So I started running to the vehicle.
He yelled 'NO! My Shoe!'
Ok, then. Your shoe. ??? whatever. I'll get you the bag, hang on.
He started yelling at my daughter and her friend on the sand, "It's between my shoes!"
And he seemed a little agitated.
So they sat there doing nothing thinking,"eww. The poop is between his shoes. Gross."
But bad communication was happening here. He meant that the bag was between his shoes that were on the shore. Beside the girls.
At this point we've got a floater.
I'm laughing my head off.
The kids in the river who are so taken with Sadie are screaming and flailing their arms now and trying so hard to run away from the.. the well you know.
Now I'm howling.
And my poor brother is standing in the water with all eyes on him now with a bag that a stranger brought him trying to catch the poop. And it's going all over the place because of the slight waves.
Well. My God.
How funny was that.
(I'm even laughing typing this out now.)
My brother did and does not think it was very funny at all.
Which makes it even funnier to me.

I will now take a bag with me when I'm in the river with her. I just never thought a dog would do that.
Maybe just Sadie does.
She is special.
: )
