Jillie (and Eddie) go swimming We don't get a lot of opportunities to swim in Alaska, but I was quite proud of Jillie catching on today! :) I've always been jealous of YT's Yorkie swimmers. https://youtu.be/HmvTBHD1eNQ |
Omg , that was too cute . Your dogs are adorable . That little girl is precious . The way she dove in after that frisbee . She looked like a little motor boat and her tail was the rudder :D |
OMG Mike, they are absolutely adorable and loving the swimming, how kewl is that, little Jilly is fearless. I have been searching my area for places to take Cody swimming, pool invites are few and far between lol. I love how Jilly jumps in for the Frisbee, song is perfect for them lol. Thanks for sharing. |
I think Jillie start to enjoy it. Love her little jump before grabbing the frisbee. I think Eddie was less impressed. Lol. Love the video and music |
This is SO cute!!! They look like they're having so much fun :) I wish there was a place around here that I could bring Tink to and swim. |
That video really put a smile on my face. Soooo cute. |
Aww, thanks for the kind words. That place opened a couple years ago but I'd only been a couple times because I wasn't sure they enjoyed it. It's not cheap (intro session $25, then $35) so I mostly stayed away. But we recently were given 4 gift certificate sessions for the therapy dog work they do at the hospital, and swimming finally clicked for Jillie! I'm so happy to have a swimmer! And even though Eddie isn't sure about it yet, he had fun playing on the side. Gonna have to find a way to work it into our budget! |
Great video! |
Mike I must have watched this video 15 times lol, Jillie was having so much fun with the Frisbee, she's such a little trouper lol. All my passed girls LOVED to swim (no life jackets) . I would take them to a pvt lake every week end. This place is not accepting any more members so Cody loses out. I love to watch dogs swimming they have so much fun. Your pups are just too cute. |
Aww, thanks Joan! Happy the video has gone viral at your house :) It takes a confident Yorkie to swim, I think. And at their size, I think such self-assuredness is a challenge. |
1 Attachment(s) Last year Cody was 3 y/o, we had a pool invite from a friend of mine. My friend was in the pool, Cody saw my friends legs under the water and went into a frenzy, he must have thought the legs were monsters lol. he jump off the pool step to attack the monsters lol, that was the first time he ever swam, when he realized there was no ground beneath his feet his eyes got as big as saucers lol, I had him on a retractable leash and reeled him in lol. Later I went into the pool still holding on to the retractable, he flew off the step and swam to me with his saucer eyes lol. this year i got him a life jacket like Jillie has, I am dieing to use it and see what his reaction is this year using it. I am hoping he loses the saucer eyes lol. If you feel it takes a confident yorkie to tackle swimming, this boy has it lol. I can't get over how fast Jillie learned were the ramp was lol so cute. I attached a photo of Cody trying to kill the monster beneath the water lol. |
Omg, that photo is hilarious! You can see Cody is in a frenzy! |
That is so cool. Great set up with the ramp like that to gain confidence gradually. Having a pool here, I taught all my dogs to swim early on, however, I am never sure if they would know to go to the steps to get out, if they fell in. We practice a couple times a month, but mainly they avoid the pool. |
The video was too cute. I loved watching how brave she was and watching how she mastered the turn-around. They are both adorable. |

How absolutely adorable.:cool: Are you sure that Julie's name isn't Ester Williams:confused: That's ok Eddie you are GREAT going in and out of poles. It must be fun for them having each other. |
That video was wonderful. They are both so adorable..... watching them makes me want to teach my Zoey to swim. Great job !!!! |
Great video Mike and welcome to the wonderfull world of swimming! We are lucky here to live right on a lake and have many more lakes around us for summertime fun! |
Brilliant video Mike, I love how Jillie just got going with it and got so confident so fast Eddie looks as if he will enjoy it too. |
precious !! |
Thanks again, everyone. I never thought they'd catch on because I took so long before I introduced it to them. Eddie may not get it, but at least he enjoys it and Jillie makes it worthwhile for a visit. |

Oh my goodness....I lol....They are adorable...I didn't know yorkies were retrievers!!!! Buddybear hates water. I didn't even by a kiddie pool for him in this heat. Before noon it was 95 today. Great camera shots. |
I just loved seeing Jillie 'get it!!' So awesome. Man I would steal her from you in a heartbeat.. if I could pry her from you that is! Eddie is adorable as always and always tries his best. Jackson is more comfortable with a ramp of sorts, too. When he jumps in my dads pool, he usually jumps onto a raft first before jumping into the water, I think it makes him feel more comfortable. |
Btw, I feel ya on the cost thing... the only reason Jackson gets chances to swim is because of my family members w/ pools. We have an aquatic facility near us and it's sooo expensive. I always think about going in the winter time but then don't want to pony up the money. But it is such great exercise and good for their joints too. When Jackson is REALLY pumped up and excited, he will jump in and do his BIG dives like this one, which I think you've seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMV2VrK2Q7k But most of the time, he does his jumping onto the raft first. LOL https://instagram.com/p/4CvuVfPBhE/?...on_object_map= We did dock diving once to practice but couldn't get him off the dock. He liked the ramp a lot tho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUD4ZNDubaI Again I can't get myself to spend the money when we can swim for free! lol. So we never tried it again. |
