As you know, Labradors are water dogs, and I think swimming is my very favorite thing in the whole world to do. I wanted to share this with you, so that you might consider taking a swim. My family has a great pool, but my mom and my dad don't usually go swimming they just walk by the pool each day, or dad will spend time cleaning it. My brother Duke, also a Labrador never wants to swim, I think something is wrong with that, I mean he's a Labrador and Labs are supposed to love it, right? Well he won't go near the pool. I never miss an opportunity to swim, every time I go out I head straight to the pool. I think that is why they put up the pool fence, because I come in wet every time I go outside. My mom and dad get all upset and complain that I am getting the floor wet, but I am happy and I feel cool all over after a nice swim. I have a video for you to see (below) and notice that my dad keeps trying to keep me from rubbing my head on the side of the pool, I really like to do this, but I had a problem with my ear, and Dad had to pay a lot of money to the vet to fix it, so now they try to keep me from rubbing on the edge of the pool. I still do it anyway, it feels good!. How many of you have a pool and walk by every day and don't jump in. I say go for it, jump in and enjoy it, dont think of all the reasons why not to take a swim, just do it. Dad says I look like one of those zoo lions swimming, I think its fun to glide thru the water, and I do sometimes pretend I'm a lion.
Here are my swimming videos;
