| Mine says, "Water? No way, I only use that for drinking. Except when I'm forced to take a bath..."

| Ziva swims like a fish, so I think she likes it, but she also likes to get out! We swim her for exercise a few times a week since its too hot to walk. |

| Fiona hates getting baths, and She hated being in our pool, so she is not a fan at all...however, when it is rainy and muddy out, she loves it..go figure!

| Gracie loves to swim as long as it is to get on the raft with me. My boys, Rubyboy and Abba will swim but would rather stay dry. Hubby's Lab Lily, well she is a Lab, Loves the water, the people pool, Ocean, and her own kiddie pool. |

| We havent been in the pool yet,it is actually on the schedule for tomarrow. She does like baths and will stick her face in running water. I have to put cotton in her ears for a bath because she just lets the water run over her entire head and face. |

| Princess would have to be a hmm....solid -10 I'd say! She hates baths, misty grass, rain & the little make shift "pool" I made her. But she will gladly "dig up" any bowl of drinking water in the house.

| We are at the very bottom of water tolerance. Maddie enjoys sitting by the pool and she will watch the polaris going around the bottom LOL. Monkey has no idea why anyone would go outside in Texas. He will sit with me when I go out on the patio to read but has no interest in even looking at the pool. However, with that said, I have put them both into the pool to make sure that if for God forbid they should fall in and I am not right there, they know how to get out. I hate to do it to them because I know they don't like it, but the alternative of them not knowing where they can get out safely is just not an option!!! When we had "opening day" this year, they both swam straight to the tanning ledge without any hesitation which is great because I was worried we would be starting back from scratch with Maddie after the winter. So proud of them both!
