LOL not a chance! Gator used to swim but at 14 he doesn't even get close to the pool. We are working with Kohla but he is afraid of the water so I'm taking it very slowly with him. Sammie, our hound, doesn't even want to go outside if its raining much less get actually covered in water

Our Mariah that we lost in Feb was our swimmer.
Its good to have a swimming buddy again!

If I turn on the spa, chances are all 4 of us will be in it. They enjoy the warm water and bite at the bubbles. They sit on the bench just like we do.
I have 2 GSP's and they were used to the river at my old house. They had no problem adapting to the pool. When I first moved in, I had some work done and the pool was empty for a while. They had great fun in the empty pool too.

Its killing her that she has to wait for me to "OK" before she can go in. She stands at the edge and just looks down at the water!

I do have to be careful about her know where to get out. There really isn't any place except the steps to exit the pool. The coping around the sides angles "in" and "up" so even humans have trouble getting out at the edge
When DH gets home I'll see if I can get a few pictures of our new water dog. The camera isn't waterproof so a need to get the pictures from "afar".
