Nimbus Turns One Year Old
Nimbus
(Ch. Wolf River's Thunder Cloud*) had his first birthday party on July
10, 2002. We wanted to do something that he would really enjoy, so to celebrate we took a boat
to Buck Island - Howard Prairie Lake,
southern Oregon. Older brother Lightning
(right) cooled off by biting at the bow wake as we made our way across the lake. 
Once
at Buck Island, the dogs raced across the beaches and through the woods. We gave
them a swimming lesson. Because Nimbus grew up during winter, this was his first
experience in deep water. He was surprised when he could no longer touch the
bottom, but enjoyed being cool during a record breaking heat-wave. Afterward,
Nimbus (left) and Lightning (right) hopped up on stumps and surveyed their
realm.
Nimbus got a birthday cake, a hamburger which we shared with the boys when we
returned to the marina. Everybody had a great time at Nimbus' first birthday
party!
