It's Twins!

First Jelly (light brown) came cautiously over to meet us.  Then Popcorn (dark brown) came wiggling and bounding out.  I knew we'd end up with both even though we were only looking for one.  Car Guy really likes how playful Popcorn is.  That's how he chose Miki for me all those years ago; she was the playful one in the litter.  But Penguin Girl took a shine to Jelly.  Actually, she prefers to call him Jelly Bean.  But years ago when Miki and Buddy were still young, I said that my next two dogs would be called PB (Peanut Butter) and Jelly.  Now we've got Jelly but PB just didn't seem to suit so we've got Popcorn instead.

Try Out

Penguin Girl really digs swimming.  I arranged for her to try out for the non-competitive junior swim league.  She has been very excited about this and working really hard.  Her swim teacher introduced her to the butterfly just two weeks ago and I am still floored that she can do it.  Today at the try out, the coach ran the kids through all 4 strokes and then finished off with a race.  Penguin Girl was not the fastest kid but she has some really good technique.  For instance, most of the other kids create a whole world of splashing and poke their heads up out of the water to do their freestyle.  Penguin Girl keeps her head in, does her shark fin arms, and looks like she's gliding through so very smoothly.  They'll let us know next week!
