From last summer

I was going through old pictures on my work computer and came across these. These are classic. Gage is a Golden Retriever, that should love water. Well, he was terrified, and could not swim to save his life. So He and Nick went up to the lake for a week, and he finally learned to swim!!! Then of course we couldn't keep him dry.

Here Nick is trying to teach him to use his back legs, he was only using his front paws, and his bum was sinking.


When Nick got in the boat, Gage joined him. Who needs to swim when you can float.


And finally, he needed a little reassuring. Swimming is not an easy task to learn. Here he is with my mother-in-law, sunning on the dock. If you look closely, you will notice he is sitting on her lap.
