Spinner's Day at the Beach!!!

[rvgrammy1953]

Well, we didn't think Spinner was interested in the water, as we had had him on this beach area of the Cape Fear river before & all he did was run & play in the sand, but last Saturday we decided to try some fishing there and took Spinner along for another run in the sand....we got our fishing poles all baited and out into the water...Spinner sat there so nice and patient while we did this.....then we let him loose to do some running.....Low and behold, he starts running not only on the beach, but right out into the water....just having a grand old time...



After awhile, we decided he needed a break...so we got him to sit on his beach towel while we finished fishing....boy, was he tired.... sitting there dozing off....

Got him back to the camper and like having a little kid with you, he was all full of sand and salt water...so it was a bath for Spinner, then supper and a nap....
Needless to say, we now call him "Spinner the water dog"....
Enjoy!!

Isn't it fun to see them learn to play and enjoy new things.

What fun you all had! Great pictures and memories!

Love it. Next time we meet on a beach I know who Herschel will play with!

Spinner sure is a handsome lad! I'll bet smiles were the order of YOUR day, eh?

Molly is always amazed when visiting dog friends take to swimming in our pond! Not only does she absolutely HATE the water, she even hates to get her feet wet. When it's wet from rain, she tries to keep all four feet in the air! I did put her in the pond one summer, to show her she could swim, but she was so panicked (although swimming just fine) that I didn't try that again. Who knows what might have happened to her before I rescued her from the streets of Detroit! Maybe someone had tried to drown her, for all I know.

Spinner has a new-found activity! Thanks for those great pics!

Hey, Surprise, Surprise, look what I have found thats really fun! Looks like a happy little dog there. Now, you'll have a wet dog anytime you get near water

Soos, my Maggie doesn't really care for water either, not like Roe, she will get her toes wet now though and nose around till she gets a nose full

Spinner will be cooling off this summer I bet!! He's really a nice looking dog, glad you all enjoy him so much, nice addition to your family.

Maybe all the elements lined up for Spinner to try the water again. Maybe the sun was warmer, the water warmer, etc. For sure they are wonderful pictures. It looks like Spinner made up his mind that" Hey this wet stuff isn't so bad after all", and it's my choice to get wet. (not like when it rains . I'm sure he was one tired puppy that night. Linda

Maybe he had to find just the right temperature and just the right spot.
