| Rocky LOVES the pool! Last summer I was so upset because Rocky hated swimming. Well yesterday I finally had a day off from school and work, so I took the pups to my parents house and brought Rocky in the pool..OMG he loved it! He didn't want to chill on the rafts, he just wanted to swim. He was even grunting from being out of breath, but he still wanted to swim. When I took him out, he actually jumped up the pool ladder (and the steps are about a foot a part), he got his hind legs on the second step but he slipped (Good thing I was right there and got him so he didn't fall!) When we took him out he was whining to go back in! It was so cute how he loved the pool so much, I wanted to share it with you guys

| Taylor is the same way.... he LOVES the pool!!!! He throws in his little "Rubber Duckie's" and then makes trips out to save each one of them. It's so cute. I was nervous at first feeling like he might get in the pool, which is in an enclosed lanai without me knowing...but he seems to only get in the pool when we are right with him. He knows, should he fall in by accident (which he has) to swim to the walk-out steps. I keep the sliding doors out to the pool closed unless I'm going to be out there...but you know how fast they can be, and slip out without you knowing. At least we know he's a good swimmer and knows his way out. We used to have a Golden Retriever, and of course they love water....but I never thought of Yorkie's as "Water Dogs"! |

| Joey likes to swim, too. I wonder how many of our yorkies like the water...

| That is soooo cool. So there is still hope. Maxwell isn't so crazy about the pool so far this season. You will really have to keep a super duper eye out. |

| Luckily the pool is above ground, so it's not like Rocky can just jump in. Plus, whenever he's in my parents backyard I'm with him because I'm afraid he'll go under the fence, and theres some really mean dogs that live behind my parents.

| That's so cute....... Glad Rocky had such a wonderful time. I'm going home to PA this weekend and I'm going to attempt to put Trixie in the pool. Pia hates baths enough, so I'm not trying the pool out with her and Snoot's 12 and has always hated water, so I'm hoping Trixie will like it and will be my swimming buddy.
