LOL

I had a schnauzer that couldn't swim, and an older brother (we were all adults at the time), who kept telling me "every dog can swim."

One day, he and his family were in town visiting and we were all at my Aunt's pool with the dogs. My brother kept insisting that Fritz could swim. Finally, I told him, to go ahead and take him in, but HE had to save him when he started to panic and go under.

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.

Kobe does not like to swim in our pool. And he is not a graceful swimmer. When I put him on the raft if it comes near me he will try to climb up on my shoulder. But he always feels so good when he gets out. He just runs around and rubs on everything.

That was so adorable

Poor Gus I hope he starts to like the water!
