| Life Jacket? I bought this life jacket for Hefner the other day we tried it out in the pool today. Hefner loves to swim and we have a sailboat so I was afraid of what would happen if he jumped into the water either in the pool or from the boat and no one saw him for whatever reason. Unfortunately, it didn't work very well. He couldn't really swim well due to the bulk and it pushed his face into the water!! I hate to recommend agaisnt it but I am taking this particular style back and asking if there is anything else that might work better. |

| Oh too bad it didn't work out cuz he's so cute. But cute doesn't keep ya from drowing so I hope you find a life jacket that fits great. I have one for Annabelle that I love (Schnazuer) but she is so much bigger. Im hoping I can get the same in a much smaller size for Schatzie and have it work out just as well. Of course I can't remember the brand name but I believe I ordered it from Dr.'s Foster and Smith ( ?? ). It's yellow, and has a handle on top, I can just pick her up if a bad situation arrises. We use it when we canoe. There have been times when the canoe capsized and it was so easy to just reach over and snatch Annabelle up with that handle. Haven't made up my mind yet if I want to have Schatzie go or not ??

| I need to get a life jacket for cosmo when we go to beaver lake this summer but I am afraid to order one because he is going to grow nd I dunno how big he is going to get.

| i bought one for hailey that looks like a taco when open and has a handle on top. we took her out on the boat a couple of weeks ago and i put her in the water because it was hot and she swam fine with it.
