Swimming and Sharing

The Coops swims
Brewski does too.

No one else seems to want to swim but we did have Hugo and Milo with their humans over and they swam and so did Ella and Kat. Nathan brushed everyone out and dried them. Wow what an amazing thing for me. He realizes after today I have bags to get ready, paperwork to do and it will be mighty busy. 

I also have some photos of in and out of the pool. Hope you enjoy. Coops really loved the swim and so did Brewer but when they were cooled off, ran liek banshees and soaked all the cushions so we couldn't sit on them (yeah), then they wanted inside. It was a hot day today.

Here are a couple of photos shared with us.

Here is Tessa and Calean with a big dog experience.

We had Tessa in a pool yesterday and she seemed to like it. Today she loved it!  Caelen is still hesitant about swimming....but we are working with her!

Bravo, Karen, Love that you have a water dog addition!

This is a photo of the Treasure. She's as beautiful as always. Looking forward to seeing her after the pups depart!

We're really looking forward to seeing Ziggy but I can tell he's made himself at home as usual:). It was funny to see the picture of him leaving the pool the other day with a dry head - I have no idea how he managed that;). I'll have to get him to give me lessons! Thank you Darlah for taking such good care of him:)!

Awesome swim photos!

Oh Darlah, such great photos all around. Loving the photos of Coop in the pool, he seems to be having such a good time. Melts my heart especially because we miss him so much. But so happy to see him having such a great time. Thanks for sharing those photos. Very nice to see a photo of Treasure, she hasn't changed a bit.

Looked like a great pool day. I know how Anne feels seeing her boy Coop enjoying himself at Talemaker. Having a swim was nice. Did Nathan find Coop easier to blow dry since you thinned his coat ?

It has been 5 years since I have seen Treasure. I am sure she will be happy to see you and Nathan.

Kathy:

We stay in touch and see her from time to time. We even post photos here from time to time. Last summer she was here visiting a couple of times. We miss her madly too but she is so happy being numero uno!

It is so much fun to have a dog that loves water. Tessa is giving Caelen more confidence in the water so hopefully we will have 2 swim buddies
