Is there anything sweeter than watching a dog play in the water? Especially when the setting is this beautiful?

 

Sam waters edge Curecanti

Sam, checking it out.

Curecanti National Recreation Area is a place I can go back to over and over again. (And have.) Don’t miss it if you’re visiting Colorado.

Sam going in Curecanti

Sam, going in. Note the adorable no-tail and butt dimples.

This is why I’m such an evangelist for the National Parks – these beautiful places are everywhere in the U.S. and deserve to be protected, so they can be enjoyed by beings of all kinds.

Sam shake Curecanti

Sam, shaking off the water. (I’d kill for those muscular thighs. Maybe less fur, though.)
