Well I have just been having the best summer!  I've been barking at everyone, plus I'm getting to swim almost every day, and I'm finally getting back in shape!  I got to spend almost all of last weekend swimming with Dad, and we got a lot of practice in. Here's some of my favorite footage.

Before I had the Dog-On-Water Ramp, I almost never got to go swimming with my Dad when it was just the two of us.  He would throw the ball and I'd jump in and get it, but he rarely got in there with me because it was too hard to get me out.  Now, the two of us go swimming all the time together.  I really like to bark at him and then give him lake hugs...even when he's not expecting it!  

I'm now comfortable getting in and out whenever I want and can even just relax in the water and not bother anyone.  My Dad seems to be very happy with this arrangement!  Life is pretty good this summer!

​SO MUCH SWIMMING THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!  We've been getting on the lake every day, and I've gotten a lot of practice and, well, I think I’ve pretty much got this thing down now.  Everyone is so happy about it!  I even got to show off in front of a large audience, as there were boats everywhere this weekend, with one fully loaded pontoon boat passing me by as I nailed the landing and climbed easily out of the water into the boat.  It was so fun, I got a huge cheer from the pontoon, and even a few people took photographs and perhaps a video!  This week I also learned how to get in the water with it, and even though I still miss the landing occasionally, I’m getting very comfortable.  My parents are thrilled with me every time I make it in and out of the water without their help, and I get very excited!  I think I’ll take a few days off and rest from all the exercise I got!  Tell your humans to get you one of these ramps immediately!
