This is the day "Dr Johnson" swims across the county

• The Swimmer (1968)

Woof, woof I don't usually take liberties with the film quotes but I couldn't resist inserting my name into this one 'cos I'm so proud of my ability to climb up the ladder and dive into the swimming pool!
I got tired after a while and Ted held me under my belly so that I could still lie in the water and enjoy the relative coolness without having to dog paddle all the time. It was great fun and then I discovered that I could put my hind legs down on the pool bottom and my head on the top ring so I could rest between swimming sessions - what great fun and the kids enjoyed my company too.
Poor old Miss Molly couldn't make it into the pool and I heard Ted say she was too old and stiff to attempt it!
