Awww. Rusty...you're a heartmelter! I remember the day my Labbie Star had her first swim! She was about 7 months old. I was SO excited! I was jumping up and down and clapping and then I cried! I was so proud of her! I'm sure you felt the same way when you saw your beautiful Rusty paddle off! And Rusty, that photo of you in your cowboy gear is priceless!
