Any swimmers?

[yorkshirecrazy]

I can't believe my little girl can swim. She is so cute at it to. I have a pool and I live in Miami where it is very hot. Actually today it is not. Which is a miracle. It's been like this for a few days. Well anyways my mini pin loves to swim and she was chasing him around the outside of the pool and out of no where she jumped in. Dam she is a great swimmer. Now she goes in all the time. When she gets out she looks like a little rat. They are so funny looking when they are wet. Espeacially since she is so skinny. Does anyone else have a swimmer?

Princess loves to swim. She has her own little pool, but she loves to go in the big pool too. It's too cold now, but I'll take some pictures of her in the summer. She hangs out by the pool all day with me. We bought her a little boat, she loves to go for rides.

Sully is a good swimmer but it's debatable whether or not he truly enjoys it or just swims in fear of his own life. LOL.

Funny you'd post this in the "middle of winter" for the rest of us, though. Haha! It is warm-er here than most places of course except most of Florida and by all means, Miami. (Here=Chaaales'n, SC)

We took Macey into our pool this summer, and she freaked out! Even though we were holding her up, she thought she was going to die, and kicked her little legs as hard as she could! It was really cute, but we didn't make her stay in for too long.

Princess has her little pool next to the big pool. I fill it up in the morning, by the afternoon the water is nice and warm. She loves to play with her toys in there.
In the big pool she's in my arms, playing on the stairs or in her little boat.

That's so cuuuute!

I think Simon would be a champion swimmer. Last summer when I took them for a walk by the duck pond, Simon would always jump in and swim (harness, leash and all). I think Hallie would probably prefer her own little pool to splash around in I can't wait to see summertime swimming pics!

Would love to see pictures of that!!!

My little guy is iffy on swimming.....I think I will try a little pool of his own for him.
I never knew if the chlorine and pool chemicals would be good for them or not. He has been in the creeks and rivers several times.

I can't seem to find a life jacket that fits him right (for canoe trips, etc). Has anyone had luck getting a good fitting life jacket for their little ones?

Cool I didn't know they made doggy life jackets. That's so neat. If you find out where to get them let me know? Thanks....

I also live in Florida and all three of my dogs have gone swimming, even if it wasn't their idea. Most have fallen in and Thank God have figured a way out (except Petey, when he fell in we almost lost him) But anyway None of mine like to swim! Wish they did, I would actually use the pool if they liked it, as I would have someone to swim with!!

PLEASE take pictures!! that is so cute.

Do you dry her ears after? I'm scared mine will get an ear infection from the water when I wash her!! I guess it's OK to bring her in the shower with me then ? haha

outward hound makes doggy life jackets. if you google "outward hound" it'll bring up a list of sites that sell tehir stuff. the attached link however is the cheapest i've seen a lifejacket. iknow sometimes petsmart carries them but... not sure if it's a regular item everywhere.

Idon't know if you are asking me, but As soon as she gets out of the pool I dry her with a towel and I do wipe the towel around and inside her ears.
I then let the sun dry her up a bit more and she will actually run around drying herself off. Then I take her in and blow dry her to make sure she is fully dry. I don't want her getting sick on me and so far haven't had any problems with her ears. Thank God for that...........
