You would think having spent all of my summers here at the lake that I'd be pretty 'sea worthy'. Truth be told, I don't know if I could swim well enough or long enough to save my own tushy. I just never learned to swim I guess. That got me to thinking about Clutch. If I couldn't save myself I sure wouldn't be able to save him. Because swimming comes naturally to dogs you'd think he'd be okay but he's just a little guy and would probably get too tired. So...........

He is not too thrilled with his new blue polka dot life jacket. He just stood there, frozen in place with his eyes half shut like "if I can't see this thing, it's not here"!




He was not thrilled when I tested out the handy dandy strap across the back so he could be snatched out of the water in a heartbeat.




Even a little loving from Mom didn't change his mind. He'll tolerate that life jacket but he isn't going to like it (or at least let me know if he does)!

I would normally rotary cut and machine piece this block but because of the 3/8" half square triangles, I opted for foundation piecing.
