Vega's first swimming adventure

9/4/2012

When we stopped by to see Portia yesterday, we thought we would see if Vega wanted to swim. She wasn't sure at first about wading in Holly's pool that has a beach front, but she walked in when she saw Portia. I then threw their corgie Lexi's ball into the deep end for Lexi to go get, and Vega jumped in after it! She went all of the way under water, and we quickly pulled her up. Here are a few picture before the plunge.

Come on in, Vega! It's so much fun! (Holly couldn't let Portia go all of the way in so her ear posts wouldn't get wet)

Umm... I'm not too sure, Portia. It looks scary!

Scaredy cat! It's so much fun!

I want a ball too, Lexi!!

"Portia that was scary! Not fun!". "Vega, I didn't tell you to go under your first time!"

OMG they have doberman and a CORGI. Corgi's rock. Luka likes to lounge in shoulder height water, but he does not like to swim. We bought him a giant pink life vest-thinking that would make him feel more secure. We have been working with Luka almost every week for 2 months to get him to like to swim at the lake. He stands on his hind legs and jumps like a circus poodle to avoid swimming at all costs. Fruitcake for sure! Now, Achilles, he loves to swim. He will swim out 25 feet from shore to bite at a wasp hovering over the water. Not Luka.

Holly; Looks like you have the perfect pool for teaching the puppies how to swim. My Joya LOVES to swim. Jada loves the water but so far I haven't been able to take her to the regular swimming spots because unless it is a private residence, my vet doesn't want me taking her out to other dog areas. Private residences are fine though, if you or Portia ever want some more dobie company.
