(*Kiara at grandma's ~ 25 pics*)

As most of you know, I spent last week at my grandma's house caring for her. Well, the last night I was there we had a bunch of family over for a dinner that I made. Kiara came along with my parents and she had a blast. She spent the night with me, too.

My grandma has a HUGE pool so of course Kiara had to go in.

Grandma trying to get her to jump off the diving board. You can see Maytag, one of her pups next to them.

Jumping off...

She got smart, instead of swimming all the way down to the steps, she used the ladder in the deep end.

The next morning she kept coming up to me on the couch and then running out towards the pool...

"Mom, the pool is this way!!"

Instead of going around the diving board, she likes to jump over it.

That's all. :)

Oh Ki, you love that diving board don't you? You should tell your mommy you want one for xmas ;) Josie would have so much fun playing with you in the water!!! unfortunately Zeke hates water. Silly boy.

Oh, Kiara. It looks like you enjoyed your visit to grandmom's. I bet you made her smile, too! I would be very surprised if your being there did not give her a smile. I hope she is improving each day, how nice that you and mum were able to spend time with her. [[[hug]]] for therapist Kiara!

Aw, that Kiki really is a charmer. I love her "let's do it again" face the next morning. And I am very impressed with her using the ladder. That must be tough for a dog. I hope your Grandmother is feeling better. I am sure having you there was a big help.

How fun..Ki always looks like shes having so much fun when she's around the pool..have you thought of trying dock diving with her? She would do great! :D

Kia!! You are such an amazing girl!! Tell mommy you want to be a Dock Dog!!:D

are you sure Kiki isn´t part DUCK?........ :p

what a love for water!! and what a smart girl!!..... she never ceases to amaze me........ hope your grandma is doing better

Kay,
Have you thought about entering Kiara like a water agility she seems to LOVE water

OMG those pictures are AMAZING, as always! Kiara looks like she had a blast a grandmas house. And how cute is Maytag! Why aren't you a pet photographer yet?! :p ;)

Fantastic pics Kay.:D

I am amazed Kiara used the LADDER!!!!!

She's such a pretty athletic little girl. :D thanks for sharing and I think she would love being a dock diving pup! :D

Awesome photos, Kay! Ki is astounding! She's so beautiful! What a gorgeous body! I think she's part duck!
