Going Swimming

We spent some of our Memorial Day weekend out at the farm, especially out at the pond. It was beautifully HOT weather, but nonetheless, the pups thoroughly enjoyed running free at the pond and getting to roll around in whatever nasty smells they could find.

Other than one time when Tilly took a super-man dive off the dock into the pond because she didn't know any better, the pups have never been swimming before. Because it was so warm and the water felt really good we decided to see how their swimming skills were. AJ would lower them down from the dock into the water and they would doggie-paddle (literally) their little legs and swim to the edge of the pond to walk out. They actually seemed to enjoy it too as they kept coming back for more! Eventually it wore them out though so they decided they were done.

Here they are, swimming away! :)

Oh, and I couldn't help but post this next picture. Charlie is a COMPLETELY different dog when we're out at the pond--so free and happy and this photo FULLY captures it :)
