We live right next door to the Dog Park, that has a small Lake with a small island
in the middle of it......I have had to train all of my dogs and puppies (3 @ one time) not to go diving off the banks and not to drink it either! We are also right
across the street from the Beach, I have also had to train them not to go in too
deep, they will chase the waves and try to eat the sea foam which I think is gross but they have alot of fun? I only take them on a Bath Day.
Artie will go floating on an air mattress, swimming and surfing with me, but I think he only does it because I do? I get worried about him drowning since he is the only one with a long coat! I have had a friend that had his 16 yr. old Yorkie
drown in a Pond behind their own house! I always watch them like a hawk anyway......I could never afford to replace any of them, the 2 were Birthday Gift's and Tiffany was a by product of Artie & Abigail, technically "Free", not including the Vet. costs. They're never truly "Free", you still pay for them in the long run.
