Oh, boy, oh boy! I love summer! I want to run and play and sniff...EVERYTHING!
It's such a nice hot day. The sun is shining. I can feel it on my back, hot, strong. And the water will be so cool and refreshing.
We're going to the river! I'm going swimming! I'm going to chase sticks and paddle through the water like a duck!
Oh, the freedom!
There's a stick. I fetch them so fast. Mommy's so pleased. I'm a good boy.
There's another. It's way out there. Here I go!
Wait. Nope. Can't touch bottom!
Yeah, I don't swim.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Yep, yep, yep. You had me, Misty, at "Boy, oh boy!" You claimed me with, "There's a stick. I fetch them so fast." You slayed me with, "Yeah, I don't swim."
If dogs could talk. 🐶📣
