| Rufus went swimming! :D The weather finally cleared up! Today was the warmest day we've had this year, >25 degrees!! (in Celsius) So we decided to take Rufus for a swim and he did great! A couple of months ago he was a bit too curious and he fell in the water. Even though he did great, I didn't let him jump again. But he showed interest in swimming I bought a life jacket, but had to wait because the weather went downhill! (raining almost every day) We finally had a chance to give swimming a try. First I started by putting him close to me, that way he could feel the water and get comfy. Then we went a bit further and so on until he knew were to get out etc. After a couple of tries, we decided to use his water toy. First I thought that it would take a couple of tries for him to retread, but he did it on the first try! I was so happy He still doesn't dare to jump, I have to help him. But today's results were more than I ever expected. Here is the video, enjoy http://youtu.be/em6H9_VKPJw

| so cute, looks like he loves his toy. My Lola is a swimmer and she dives for her toy now. it helps if they are toy driven, that is what gives them the incentive to jump in. He looked so happy it was nice to see. Is the white dog yours as well, what type of pup is that, she or he is very cute. thanks for sharing
