Next time I am bringing the camera

The one nice day this week, we went on a walk and took our Dog, Zoe with us. We decided to go to the marina and see if there were any boats. When we got there, we went down to the water and Zoe took a small drink.

After about 5 minutes, someone took out a boat and this is where I wished we had our camera. After the boat went past us, the wave started coming in and Zoe pulled on her leash to get to the waves to bite at them. Then another boat went out, this one was bigger and faster and so the waves were bigger..It was so funny, I don’t know if Zoe was afraid of the bigger waves, but she started barking at them as well as biting them..


Then we went over to this other dock, except we saw a grater snake, so we decided to go back to the water where my 6 y/o son was throwing rocks..Zoe, after each rock hit the water, would pull on the leash..Since no one was around, I thought I would take her off the leash to see what she would do..
She went after the rocks and so I had an idea, would she be willing to get wet to fetch a stick? Sure enough, she went after the stick, I started throwing them out further until she would just jump in the water to go swimming on her own..

This is a dog who hates to take baths..So how is it that a dog who hates baths with warm water, would go swimming in cold water? Does your dog love to play in the water?


If I had gotten it on camera, it would really put this post together, so we made out a list of things to take for next time and camera is on the list..
