I've never seen a dog that was loved and cared for that looked anything other than beautiful. Here in the metropolitan area of STL some of the municipal pools will stay open an additional weekend and offer dog swims for a nominal or no fee at all. We just got back from the pool a few minutes ago. My son brought his Lab as well. What my dog likes to do is retrieve his decoy trainer. What my son's dog likes to do is chase my dog. Right at impact with the water. Here is a very grainy video my daughter took in slo-mo. It is 26 sec long. You'll see the decoy come from right frame to left frame and then my dog doing his best Superman right behind it.
Here's Cheetah, my 4 year old Austrailian Heeler mix, I got her from a dog rescue at around a year old and it was almost like bringing a wild animal into the house, she was honestly one of the worst behaved dogs I'd ever seen. I'm pretty good with animals, but I had to bring in the big guns and start working with a trainer to get her straightened out. These days she knows all the basic commands, is great on a leash, does agility and tricks, makes friends everywhere we go, runs next to me on my bike etc... But is still a very dominant and high energy dog, I have to exercise her every day or else her old self starts to show it's ugly head. Keeping a working dog like this as a pet is definitely not something I'd recommend to everyone, but I'm sure grateful that I've had the chance to work with her and I know that I'm a much better dog owner and trainer because of her. Woof!
Th thanks! Yes she sure is, people constantly come up to us and want to meet her, it happens every single time I walk her ( lol)
My dogs Sven the mixed color and Wally the white one. They are cockapoos and my wife and I love these guys like our kids. Photo taken last weekend at the cabin.
Really miss my exes terrier sometimes. Always ready to play that one. We have a great rescue boxer now. Rescued when he was twoish, tenish now and looking distinguished with all his gray whiskers. He lives a rough life. When I spend too much time on the computer. Waiting for treats That sheepskin (ESEE fan for sure) is his favorite thing on earth, he nuzzles it like its his mother or something. One of the best $30 purchases I've made. Spending Friday night at home.
