So Harley has a grade 2 LP in his left hind, and it's not bugging him now, but the vet suggest he go to rehab sessions so the tech can teach me how to massage and properly stretch his legs so that he can continue to do agility.

Well one of the things she suggested was water walking and swimming. I tried water walking last week in the tub, but he HATED IT.

This week I filled the tub full and put on his new life jacket, and dumped him in.... he paddled around so adorably. She told me only to do like 5 minutes cause it's like a 30 min work out equivalent, and now he's sleeping like a baby.

I promise next week now that I know he's safe, I'll take video and pictures. Although every three strokes, he tried to jump out of the water, and epically splashed me

I know there are a few water babies out there, I've seen Jackson's videos, but who else's babies LOVE to swim?
