Why you gotta be pointing that camera at me.

All these great pups around their hooman's pools and none swimming around.

My part lab, part Pyrenees and some kind of shepherd - doesn't like the water.

If we are both in the pool she may get in the sun shelf and one step lower. She will swim if we force her. Blows my mind.

And honestly somewhat happy as we have a doggy door and would have to deal with her always getting in if she was a water dog.


My last dog didn't mind swimming but didn't get in by herself, until the last week of her life. She was going out the doggie door and swimming during the night. We couldn't figure out why she was wet in the AM til we watched cameras. My guess is she was in less pain in the water.

Obligatory pic of my sweet Bailey Ann. I know she's swimming up there in heaven.

Here's my Remington (black lab) and Quigley (Chocolate). They've both since moved on to finer waters than our stock pond.
Both of them loved swimming even in their older years. It really helped with their joints and arthritis.
I've been very lucky that every dog I've ever had the privilege of caring after can be traced back to my first ever friend (Tracker, Black Lab) that I paid 100 Pennie's for when I was four years old.
There's a reason dog can be spelled backwards. : )
