TEE HEE....Fritz got over it quickly, but my brother still has the scars on his stomach where he was clawed during his rescue!  |
Poor little Fritz. But it's true. Not all dogs can swim. My uncle had 2 Labs, brother and sister. and the boy loved loved loved the water. he was one of the jumpers. It was so fun watching him go. But the girl wanted nothing to do with the water. I think it's because she fell in when she was a pup and just sank. She used to watch her brother from a far. You couldn't get her near the pool for anything.
