My oldest son hitching a ride on Charlie while he is clearing the creek of sticks.
Rocket constantly keeps an eye on the kids by circling them while swimming.
These were taken at our camp.... Where we will be "living" when our house is sold... and we have no where else to go........... until our new home is finished...
Those are great pics! You're so lucky, Blondie's terrified of water We once took him to the beach, but he didn't want to jump in... such a pathetic case

A couple helpful hints... if you want Blondie to like water...
Start off slow, with shallow water, no waves. Find a dog that likes to swim and have a picnic with that dog and his family! Before you know it Blondie will be going further and further. Just let him investigate at his own pace, but the other dog will help him along. I have not had a dog yet that didn't like water... Lol
ROcket does the same thing Riot does to me and whom ever I'm swimming with! He'll swim around taking a head count, go back to the dock for a break, dive off the dock swim around and take a head count and so on and so on lol
I LOVE that first shot of Rocket - you can see her lets swimming under water!

Thank you very much for the tips! Unfortunately, we don't have a creek or river near our house, that's why it would be difficult. I even got him one of those inflatable pools for kids, but it didn't work either! I know someone who has a dog who could help, I'll think of a plan to have a picnic with them and then I'll tell you!
