Today I went swimming in a special pool just for dogs. I've been in the sea and ponds and stuff but I get a bit nervous in the waves, so this was to hone my technique and get me enjoying it....and boy did I enjoy it! I started off by being led around but soon was ready to go off on my own. I dove in and zoomed off after the squeaky toy and retrieved it like a pro.
I took the jacket off after a while when I was feeling really confident. I couldn't get enough of it. I soaked mum and the other ladies there quite thoroughly each time I dove in. Apparently I swim like a labrador - using my front legs and letting the back ones tuck up. I call it 'economical'. I did use my back legs on the way to retrieve the toy though - didn't want to hang around letting it escape or anything. Quite tired now. Need a nap.

It's pink !! Your toy is pink! We love it. We're going to update our birthday wish list.
Nice move Charlie Morph! My mom never took me to swimming lessons. I had to learn by falling into a lake -- sink or swim so to speak.
