““and uncle had a pair of Retrievers that came along to cool off from the heat, and the two dogs ran and jumped in the water like they were born to swim. The boys threw a tennis ball to each other in the shallow areas, and the dogs jumped back and forth, trying to grab every throw out of the air. An old wooden platform floated off the far shore of the pond. The kids jumped in and out of the water, judging each other’s best cannonball splash. Uncle Drew said that the water was nearly twenty feet deep.””
