repeat of quilting event
For centuries, the art of
quilting has been passed
down from one generation to
the next. ,Born out of the
We could never move away
from our river -side home.
Our dog, Pepp^r, wouldn't let
us. He's a water dog.
But that's OK. I wanted a
dug who would go swimming
with me. When I was growing
up, we had two family dogs -
Tootsie and Tiny. We spent
our summers on the lake at
Ipperwash Beach and neither
dog would go in the water. I
remember dragging the poor
land -loving pooches into the
lake and forcing them to go
swimming with me - birt to
my dismay. they would quick-
ly make a bee -line for the
shore, where they'd stand
shaking and whimpering:
' Those dogs hated the lake. If
they could have called the
Humane Society, they would
have. I'm sure they thought,
being dragged into the water
was cruel and unusual
punishment.
But not so with our Pepper.
Ile loves to swim. I used to
think that he enjoyed being
wet, but that's not the case.
The way he pouts at bath
time, it's obvious that being in
the tub is a nasty chore, while
being in the river or the lake
is pure entertainment.
Pepper was swimming this
year before alt the ice was
melted. Ile's always the first
in the neighborhood to test the
water. Swimming brings out
the retriever In him 1 not that
I'm sure there was ever real-
ly any retriever in him i. But
any stick or other unidentified
floating object that goes down
stream is retrieved ar.1 plac-
ed in our front yard. It makes
mowing the lawn challenging.
Pepper couldn't wait for us
to put the dock in this year.
This is an exciting annual
event in his life. Each fall the
dock is extracted from the
river, and each spring it is put
back in place. This chore has
to be taken on annually,
because if left in place, the
dock wodld he destroyed or
carried away by the spring
ice flow.
No sooner was the dock
secured in place than Pepper
was on it - checking out his
personal diving board. Alt he
needs are the words "Go for
a swim" whispered in his
shaggy ear and he's off and
paddling.
With little or no coaxing, he
stands back on the river bank
and gets a good run at the
dock. He trots the length of
the 'lock and leaps - all four
feet in the air, then belly -flops
into the water with a resoun-
ding splash.
Along with his love of swim-
ming goes his love of boating.
Our motor boat recently ar-
rived in our driveway after
being taken out of storage and
having its spring tune-up. But
it wasn't quite ready for the
water yet - a scrubbing and
waxing was needed first. So
the boat sat in the driveway
while the owners avoided the
job. During that time, Pepper
sat in the 'yard and looked at
the boat longingly. He took
naps under the boat. He
almost wore a path in the
grass walking around the
f

ment and for warmth on a

boat.
He wanted to get in the boat
and go for a ride, but it was
just out of his reach. Besides,
he knew something was
wrong, he was pretty sure the
boat should be in the river.
Well, sometimes it takes
the owners a little longer than
it should to get around to
washing and waxing a boat.
Pepper grew impatient as,the
boat stilt sat in -the -driveway.
One quiet, hot evening, we
decided that we, too, wanted
to go for a ride down the river.
But the boat still wasn't ready
for water, so out came the
canoe. Pepper needed little
encouragement to jump in
with us.
Unfortunately, Pepper's us-
ed to having the run of the
boat, where he can move free-
ly from one side to the other
to check out the shore line. Or
he leans over the side to
watch sticks float by, and
jumps up to reach low-flying
birds. All of this movement
makes canoeing very
dangerous - but Pepper
wasn't the least bit worried.
Victor, who's not a strong
swimmer, soon fastened on
his life -jacket.
Then we realized what was
missing - the 'reason Pepper
enjoys the boat is because his
ears flap in the wind. That
just doesn't happen in a
canoe. When we got to shore,
he jumped out of the canoe
and ran up the bank. Later we
found him sitting beside the
boat in the driveway.

heritage, quilting remains the
focus of ongoing creative
delight.
