Teaching My Buddy How to Swim

My buddy, Brody, came with me to Horsetooth Reservoir today so I could teach him how to swim! He loves the water, but only if all four paws are touching the bottom. I let him borrow my life jacket so he would feel safe, and I shared my bumpers with him so he could see how retrieving them in the water is the same game as retrieving them on land. He swam a little bit, which is a good start! We might go again soon. I CAN'T WAIT!

Me in back, Brody in front (did I mention that Brody is a million times bigger than me? He's probably about 160 lbs. and 3 inches taller! Holy cow.)

  1. Thank you guys sooo much. If it was not for you, Brody would never have gotten his feet off the ground. Dolores, Brodys mom

    1. He will be a swimming machine by the end of the summer! We'll never get those two out of the water...
