Bella's first swim

[Crested]

I went swimming today with Ben and Bella.
Ben HATES it so he just went in and came back up again.

...but this story is about Bella's FIRST SWIM IN HER LIFE! :D

The water was kind of dirty and this green stuff was all over the top. Bella was standing on a rock and I guess she thought it was a carpet or something. So she jumped right on top of it and went under water. She was kind of startled of what the (bleep) that is but did another dive. (same result) So she thought that the green stuff on the other side of the rock would be safer. Again - splash!!

It was hilarious to watch... :lol:

The best thing was - she thought it was fun.
I went to swim a bit further away and she stayed on the rock with her tail wagging and barking at me. :lol:

Hmm... I wonder if I could go swimming again tomorrow... ;-)

Umm.. If she could teach Ben not to panic when he gets into the water first... ;-)

aww... thanks, mum! I know it's been a long time, but atleast you're up to date on why that is. ;-)

I hate the fact that I left my camera at home. I was thinking of taking it with me but then I decided not to. Dumb me! :wallbash:
Yeah... it's been a while... but I never left you for good! I've been here several times checking out what's happening. I just haven't posted.

But... you can't get rid of me! :evilbat:

How cute! :lol: One word of advice when swimming with your dogs though, is to keep away from the paws! It hurts to get kicked by mistake.. :o :lol:

I KNOW! I learnt that the hard way last year! :-? Ouch!

[imported_Kat]

swimming is great for dogs as well as being fun for us too! :D

Kat: I know! :D Unfortunately Ben can't swim that good. He drops his hind legs to the bottom and if he can only barely touch the bottom he starts panicking and splashing around while screaming. So I have to hold him in my arms everytime I swim with him. Then he calms down and just floats on the water.

Bella on the other hand... she swims great! I don't know why Ben doesn't... :-?

[Crested]

Thanks! It's great to be back! :D

Awww, sounds cute!! I bet Ben was wishing he was as brave :wink:
I can't keep Jake out of the water!! I have to block our pool or he would be in it all day (and then getting the house wet from by the way of the doggie door :lol: )

Gina: Haha! :D I wish I had that problem! I wish I had a POOL! :o

Oh it is fun to swim with your dogs. Toto loves the water and could swim all day. He is so funny because he will pat his paw on the water and watch what the water does. He can't get enough of watching his paw pat the water. :lol:

Cairn6: ROFL! :lol: Haha! You've got such a silly dog!! :D
