| I do!!! Princess loves the pool. I had to get her a small pool to play in, because she loves the big one so much. The small one gets really warm, she has so much fun in the summer.

| Chewy loves to go in the water when we go to the beach. But she stays at the water's edge. When we go to where there are tidepools, she goes right in. Same with a lake....she will go right in and swim around. Now Sierra on the other hand, does not like to get wet. But when we go on the rocks at the beach, she will come with us, even if she has to go thru some water, just to be with us. lol |

| Jack didn't like the water at first, so during the summer we would take him out on the boat, pull up at a beach and I would go into the water up to my knees holding him, I would then put him into the water and he would swim to the shore to my Husband. We started with a life jacket on and finally took it off. Now when I take him for walks along the shore he loves to bark and snap at the little waves coming in, and goes in up to his belly with no problem. Next summer he should be swimming like Lassie. Bye the way he had his first birthday on the 20th.

| Sugar loves the water. I have a kiddie pool outside and she loves to wade around in it. It's only 4" deep so I wonder if she would jump in 10' pool! |

I love when Gus does that, He's not much for the pool but he does like to hang out with me ont he raft. He was doing ok till it kicked him in the pool an accident. I was cleaning the pool and the ground was too hot so I went to go step in so that I can stand on the steps and Gus got under foot and fell in. After that he wanted nothing to do with the pool.
