Sky swam a little bit in the river late this winter but just for short distances and not very much. On a warm day this week I took her and Luna to one of the few thawed lakes to see if she really liked swimming. She’s a labrador puppy and indeed she likes swimming and took to it naturally as we expected. She is nearly eight months old and weighs sixty pounds. I had hoped for dog that weighed no more than fifty. So much for that idea. She is all muscle and a beauty of a dog. And a natural swimmer.
Sky splashed a lot in the beginning til she figured out that did not have to work that hard
There were two toys but they always seemed to want the same one
Luna leads the way
Sky is catching her already
There are easier ways to carry the toy
Luna is looking for the toy
Got it.
Sky wants it.
Ironically, Luna did this to Sam for years. It wasn’t til Sam was older that Luna could get the toys from her.
Like everything she does, Sky approached swimming with enthusiasm.
Wagging while swimming.
I can’t find it.
That’s easier
I’m bringing it to you.
On the shore she quivered with excitement.
I had to make the dog wait, throw the toy AND I had to get the picture.
Fun times ahead.
