| My yorkie actually loves the water! Every time I turn on the shower, he comes running in the bathroom thinking its his bath time... And when we took him camping for the 1st time, he was kinda shy to get in the water first, but when he did - HE LOVED IT! I had to keep his harness on coz I was scared he might drown coz he kept trying to bite the water (which I thought was the funniest and cutest thing) and of course he swallowed a ton of water! But yes, he loves the water - he chases after the hose and tries to bite the water coming out of the hose... He's a funny fella'

| Ginger loves to swim, Bernie's not sure yet. But he can't stand her having all that fun without him, so I think, in time, he'll be a swimmer

| Samson had a near drowning When Samson was 14 weeks old (we had only had him for 2 weeks at the time), he had somehow gotten out on the patio and fell in the swimming pool. I found him floating straight up and with his nose barely out of the water. He was hardly breathing. We rushed him in to the emergency veterinary hospital, (of course these things always happen after hours). Our vet says that Samson is one of the lucky few...usually it is a diffferent story. He spent 2 nights in the hospital and then we were able to bring him home. I was afraid that he would be a different puppy afterwards, but he is the same little Samson. We are so Blessed!!! We learned our lesson about watching him EVERY second... I can't imagine life without him!

| You need a third option "I don't know". I have never taken Gracie swimming.

| There should be an option of one does, one doesn't. Brooklyn loves the water and Britney doesn't. |

| Sadie loves to swim in the pool - but I'm always in the water with her just to give her support and point her in the right direction toward the steps out of the pool!! I bought her a little life preserver - but she won't have anything to do with it - and fights me tooth and nail when I try to put it on her!!!
