Lola is a lot like Jackson both love to leap and dive in the water, I have even had Lola in several competitions which of course she never wins but it is fun to see her dive with the big dogs. I have to say that probably only about 10 or 15% of the yorkies out there like the water, between my sister and I we have had 7 and so far Lola is the only one to show an interest. I attend a lot of yorkie meetups and have friends with yorkies come for a visit and so far no one has like the water like Lola does. Having a yorkie that loves the water can be a challenge, we live on a lake and boat a lot and we now have to tether Lola because we don't want her leaping out of the boat, one time we were on our swim platform and she caught sight of some guys throwing a football about 100 yards away she lept into the water and started swimming towards the ball, we could not catch her, thankfully she had her life vest on and no boats were traveling at full speed near us. I also have to be careful with her at my sisters house because she has a big underground pool that Lola likes to get in. I love her so but she can be a pain and not let us relax by the pool, she loves to push her toy in the water and then expects us to get it for her, often she gives ups and goes in after it, but I constantly have to be on guard and watch her, LOL no falling asleep poolside |
