Jefferson is going to be 15 years old this June. Thats REALLY old for a Black Lab. He’s been such an amazing dog – a true gentleman if there ever was one in the canine family.
On Mother’s Day he gave me a great present – he went swimming! It was his first time in the water in a very long time. In fact, I had given up on him ever going swimming again because he knows his limits and hadn’t wanted to take the plunge. He knows his body best so I always just let him determine things like that.
But today, he paced around the pool and whined giving the indication he was ready to get back in again. With some help from me and Mike, we got him onto the first step of the pool then helped him get fully in the water. He swam around like fish – going the full length of the pool. It was such an awesome sight to see.
Gotta get the ball out of the water.
I can get to it this way.
I’m going in.
Got it!
Ah – Let’s do it again – about 30-times!
