    Swimming shelties...

    Last weekend it was really hot out so I took my dogs out to my cousin's and we went for a walk to the river. Since it was so hot and there was no shade... I decided to give the shelties swimming lessons...... lol They weren't happy with me, but they were cool....
     
    Here my cousin takes Clipse out into the water.
     

     
    Kelsey gives words of encouragement.
     







    Now for Em's turn. At first she made the mistake a lot of dogs who aren't natural swimmers make. She tried to reach out and climb on top of the water. You can see her foot reaching out of the water. She got the hang of it after a couple tries.

    Those are great pictures.  My lab does that "I'll just walk across this water" thing too [:D].

    Clipse looks like he is concentrating so hard! Such a cute face, makes you want to kiss him! Did they go nack in the water? Did they learn to like it? I bet they loved the get-people-wet shake off!

    They don't willingly go in the water ever. Well unless it's just getting their feet wet while they get a drink of water.... lol

    Some breeds with smushed in faces have a hard time swimming (think pugs, shih tzus etc) doesn't mean they can't, they just have a harder time sometimes.
