Took the doggies swimming. just pix

I was having a blast with my phone. At least until Hawk lost his ball

I've got to get some more of those duck retriever dummies that float higher in the water so he can see them better, because when he looses balls they float downriver never to be seen again. Or at least, when the water warms up I can chase them down. I waded up past my knees (yes, risking my phone LOL) but I'd guess the water was in the 50*-60*F range and it was only about 85 in the sunshine.

And Me, before I went deeper. Love my Vibram shoes!

My Chow mix is more of a wader. She loves to swim, but she's not a fetcher, so she mostly wades up and down the banks sniffing everything.

Overexposed in the sun, but I thought it was cool

This one was still on my phone. I got him a new bumper dummy. Just our luck, this week has been cool and dreary weather. Sure there's more sunny swimming days to come though!

I wish my dogs would swim! LOL. All of them HATE water!

When bathing time comes, I'M normally the one who gets the bath

Yeah. If they want to swim when it's cold, that's up to them, but if it's not warm enough for me to have a bath with them then they don't get a bath

Somehow swimming is awesome fun, but getting wet in the garden hose is evil. Go figure. Sometimes I think I should get biodegradable soap and just soap them up at the river
