dogs at the lake?

Well, let's see, the weather has been wonderful..breezy and in the 80's, but today the heat returned and so we decided to take the dogs to the lake for a swim..yeeeehaww. 
We were the only ones down at the "swimming hole" with Bailey, Rowdy, Snap, Izzy and Libby.   About and hour in.. and in comes a DUCK.  It lands just outside of the "swimming area."  Now to set the stage, the water is VERY choppy because of the wind.  Where did the Duck land?  On the choppy side...Libby starts that way, I scream "come here", she hesitates, Snap starts that way, I scream "come here".  He hesitates.  Both look at me and decide it is better served if they beg forgiveness than ask for permission..so off they go.  Over the side Libby lunges.. going after mister Duck.  Duck in a panic, flies away.  Dogs don't notice.  They think Duck is still in the area and must be apprehended.  Libby now in the water is being slammed on the rocks because of the waves.  Buddy and Cindi panic.  Buddy is holding on to the remaining JR's.  I reach down to get Libby off the rocks and Snap falls in.  The waves are over their heads and it is getting pretty scary.  Finally I get Snap and Libby on the shore..sigh.  It was touch and go for a while.  Back to ball throwing and stick throwing..with Libby and Snap in Time out.  We have a nice time, TILL people come from the other side of the swimming area with 2 LARGE dogs off leash.  Our dogs go crazy, their dogs go crazy.. and do the people have leashes?  NOOOOOOO.    It eventually worked out and we got the dogs home and safe.  It was an adventure (I don't want to repeat) for sure. 

These are the dogs in Time Out
