My dog jumped in a lake. Just like that.

[undeterred]

I said to him "would you go jump in a lake just because all the other dogs did it first?"... he just stared at me and wagged his tail...

1. The first time we took our dog

to a lake he just trotted out on the little dock and stepped right off the end. Came bobbing up with this WTF look in his eyes.

5. weird. I was just telling GOPisEvil that my lab doesn't like water

I have no idea why my lab doesn't like water...I'm afraid all the other labs will start making fun of him.

6. We had 3 labs, and one of them was afraid of water..

the other two loved to swim and get wet.. Our yellow lab, Blanca hated water, and would howl when we bathed her:)

8. My dog gives me the heartbreaking sad dog eyes when I give him a bath

He guilts me every time. :(

9. you know, he probably didn't even need all the other dogs to do it

10. He is almost 13 and never swam till 2 years ago

He found a old duck decoy which had been used by hunters. He started carrying it around everywhere, occasionally setting it down to pee on it. After a while it became pretty disgusting so I named it "smelly duck" and decided to throw it in the lake in the woods where I walk him. Well, he threw himself in after it, like he was saving it! That was the first time he'd ever gone in except for a little wading. After that "smelly duck" lived at the woods, so all the other dogs could play with him until he finally disintegrated.

I try to control whether he goes for a swim or not since he is a very long haired dog, and it takes a long time for him to dry. Today its warm out and he just went in the lake at a place I would rather he didn't (kinda muddy)- just being a dog, I guess!

11. My sister's Lab swims with me every day

She LOVES to jump into our little pool-- it's only 18' across, and she climbs the steps and takes a flying leap and ends up almost on the other side. She loves that splash!
