This is How This Works

When we take dogs swimming if they are not going home it means I comb out each after swimming. That is usually on me and it was today. We had Cooper, Teddy, Murphy, Marco and Rusty in the pool today. Cooper had a bath and so did Marco. The rest got blow dried and either are not slated for baths or not going home tomorrow. It made no sense to wake up at 7am and do Cooper so I will keep him clean as he departs first thing. So as I had dogs to do my time in the pool was maybe 5 minutes. I hope the weather stays as I need my pool time. :-)

So, how did they do? Everyone that swam today are strong swimmers. Teddy was so excited after the swim that he was jumping around silly. Murphy came back for more. Marco was not crazy the first time so Nathan kept taking him till he relaxed and that he did. He is a good swimmer and enjoyed it. Rusty swam really well. All that swam today ended up truly enjoying it. No one ran away and said no - way!

Here is the gallery.

Tomorrow I have 2 dogs to demat so I am hoping it's not big jobs. I need a day off or some pool time - something. Love to go to the Aurora Farmers Market on saturday but sort of booked then too. Need to weed too.

Everyone is now aware of the rabbits. They must smell them. 

Tomorrow Spice's and Trouble's stitches will be removed by Nathan. Changes....

What a great gallery of the dogs swimming. Nathan is so wonderful with them in the pool, truly melts my heart seeing those photos. Of course I have to say that Cooper looks wonderful after his bath, what a beauty if I say so myself....sorry, I can't help it. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our doggies!

Cooper is a beauty really. What a beautiful coat. Darlah and Nathan thank you so much. Rusty is timid and needs to try different things. Loved seeing him in the water. He looked like he was saying "where are those stairs"! We miss him but we know how much he loves being with you. I agree with you and I have peace of mind when Rusty is with Darlah and Nathan. Thank you so much too for your loving and caring.

Oh that was lovely!! Marco seemed to enjoy the whole experience after a while... LOL, he is too funny and it was such fun to see all the 'swimmers'. You and Nathan are so good with them - we are all so lucky!! Hugs.

Farley had some pool time today ... he took the corner a little too quickly and over shot trying to egg Clarity on in a chase! Too busy today to come them both out, tomorrow we all swim.

Amazing fun to see Murphy swimming. Not surprised she went back for seconds. She's such a water baby. Made my day!!

Fabulous photos of them swimming and having a ball. And, they are so little when soaking wet. I agree that the Coops sure is a stunner, wow!

Did you swim today, Christine? We didn't get a chance but hoping we will tomorrow!
