This was a fun thread!
River or ocean, swimming remained a difficult feat in Oak's eyes, and those who mastered it deserved admiration. Yea, but still, he said uselessly, that infallible grin still on his face. I wanna be a good swimmer like you, sometime, he stated. The sun was warming him quickly, and he involuntarily shook himself all over, sending sand and salt flying in the process. Now that he was nice and warm, the energy he had expended swimming returned full-force, and he was ready for something new.
We could go to the lake, da water's calmer, and you teach me some he suggested. Really, he was simply itching to run, and he wanted a definite destination such as Rabbit Lake. Whether they actually went swimming again or not was irrelevant to him. For sure, however, there was still much fun to be had with this Denali pup. Oak really liked him, already considering him a great friend.
