Ada the water dog

Okay so... not gonna win any dock diving contests yet but Ada is really taking to fetch in the water.

Now the problem is if you throw it...

She will go to the edge and get ready to jump then change her mind, then do it again and again and just never actually JUMP.

She wants to stand on the top step then jump... which is not very graceful.

The end!

Me and Maddie are soooo jealous of your pool! adopt me!

She is so cute, and she's really looking good!

awww. Teagan is supper dupper jelouse. She wants a pool. A nice clean pool. Scratch that I want a nice clean pool. My Dugout just does not give the nice and clean effect.

Fabulous pictures! She's awesome!

At least she jumps in...Watson would not eve dip a toe
She looks great.

I need a pool.

For the dogs.

Yah. For the dogs.

OMG. Want her want her want her. I love a swimming terrier. Heck a swimming dog!

Have you tried getting in with her, have her standing on the edge, and get her REALLY excited about the ball *right* in front of her? Like, "omgadatheballgettheballadacomeongetitgetitgetit!!!!" excited? She probably just needs to take that one leap and see that the world doesn't end when she jumps.

I am all for a water dog - you go Ada

She's truly one brave girl and looks so adorable at the water..

Too cute! Ada is such a character!

I wish we had a swim-worthy pool for Morgan to try out. I think he would have a lot of fun swimming, but now that he's almost four and there are no real opportunities for dog swimming in our area... I'm afraid he's just going to wimp out if we ever do get a chance to try him in the water.

I want your pool also, LOL.



You should do Dock Dogs with Mia.

Oh no... papillons are half cat. They melt in the water. I've been told this time and time again as I've tried to get Mia to like swimming. Nope. Not gonna work. She will wade to about chest high but that's it. Papillons seriously tend to have catlike aversion to water. They loathe it.

So needless to say I'm enjoying having a dog that swims.

She is so darn cute and agile! Dixie would LOVE a pool like that.

^.^ She looks really good. I'm glad she found you.

I need a pool, and a little Ada to go in it
