atlas vs the lake

elizabethhalt.com | atlas vs the lake

atlas says: i will drink from the lake, but i will not swim in it. just because i am now willing to let my belly touch the water does not mean that i have changed my mind about this. i am resolved.

elizabeth says: on monday, a kind stranger held atlas’s leash while i swam. she said that when i went under, he had a very furrowed brow. he did not, however, seem inclined to come in after me. still, i remain hopeful.

  1. Perhaps he needs a water-friendly kitty friend…not that I have ever heard of a water-friendly cat.

  2. jerry. what an image. lol.
    but probably would do the trick for atlas.
    not likely to happen though.
    he so loved running along the beach in oregon. but swimming? somehow i don’t blame him. too cold!!!

    Jerry: I am SURE that would do the trick. Now, if only I could find such a magical creature.

    Tammy: If you ever saw him running on the beach, you would get a sense of his no-water resolve. He likes to run along the beach, but as far from the water as is possible. :)
