Swimming!

[9 months, 3 weeks, 6 days]

Mommy and Daddy took me to the dog beach at Quiet Waters this afternoon. I had a lot of fun swimming in the water and playing with the other dogs. Daddy kept throwing my tennis ball for me, but my favorite thing to retrieve was a stick I found on the beach.

I learned how to run and jump in the water (3.1 Mb MPEG) like the other dogs.

Here’s a close-up video clip (4.6 Mb MPEG) of me coming out of the water.

There were lots of dogs there playing and I had to learn how to share. Some of bigger dogs would try and take my ball or stick before I had a chance to get to it. One of the black labs came up and took the stick from my mouth (4.1 Mb MPEG) as I was getting out of the water.

    Bella, you are so brave!! This weekend I almost played with water, too. In my backyard the people set up a kiddy pool and filled it up with water, and tried to coax me and my mom Raisin to come in. We said no! When I was carried in I scrambled in a panic to get out (with much splashing)!! I just don’t get it–what’s so great about water?!! Elly
