Smitty is so cute, I was just looking at some of your videos and this one caught my eye, does Smitty like to swim, I can't tell from your videos because you are always holding your pup.

My Lola loves the water, here is a pic of her wearing a life vest while jumping in a dock diving competition. You should check out some of the other videos on YT a lot of people have some really good ones of yorkies in action

Hi Donna,

Thanks for the comments.

How did you manage to find that video. Wasn't it buried deep in the Yorkietalk archives somewhere?

Schmitty doesn't hate the water. She likes walking in shallow water with her life vest on. LOL.

Speaking of LOL, little Lola couldn't be cuter. I love the pics you have posted. Since we do lots of videos with Schmitty The Weather Dog, I never remember to post pics too.

One thing Schmitty is really good at is sitting still. Posing is one of her favorite pastimes. (more LOL). Please check out the video of her and Elly, her 2-legged Mom (a rare appearance) on this kickstarter page (link below). You'll howl. Also, take look at the rewards Schmitty and Elly are offering to those who make a pledge for Elly's new book.

Here's the link. Schmitty The Weather Dog: Daydream by Elly McGuire — Kickstarter

Thanks Donna, we will certainly continue to check out the great videos on Yorkietalk.

Best,

Ron

Ron you post lots of videos here and I have enjoyed more than a few.

There are a couple of observations I shall make. One the neck piece of the lifejacket was done up haphazardly. YOu don't crisscross the two ends, as that weakens and lessens the effectiveness of their purpose; which is to keep the dog's head above water, should they take an inadvertent swim, and even more seriously conk their head on the way out of the boat.

Also I didn't get a good view of the top of the jacket, but it seens like it didn't have a handle on it; if that is true, again it truly lessens its effectiveness. That handle is meant for you to help lift your dog out of the water. the convenient handle can also be used to; tie a floatable leash on it; (this would lessen the distance you the owner would need to swim out to retreive a dog in trouble), or just to be able to walk your dog along the beach on lead, then remove said lead when you let them go in swimming.

Second, there should be a round the belly part of the lifejacket, that relies not only on velcro closures, but strap closures as well.

I think truly, if you do have an audience, a great video idea would be to; show HOW to Fit a LIfejacket; to assess and review the safety ideas withing each major brand of lifejacket; and to inform the pet public of why life jackets are a great idea for dogs of all sizes when they are on or about the water.
