We have been taking Miles to White Rock Lake nearly every day since we moved into the new house. There are 2 great dog parks there, and a dock area for them to jump off into the water. We have been trying (read failing miserably) at getting Miles to go into the water for weeks and weeks, even if there are other dogs around...he just won't do it. Today was a hot one however, and we walked to the dog park 2.5 miles first. When we got there, he headed straight to the kiddie pool and just laid down. Too cute! He played and played, chasing a mini greyhound (that should have worn him out, we need one of these at home!) and kept jumping in the kiddie pool. Chi suggested we try the lake again and today was our lucky day! He ran around for a few minutes, checking out the dogs and people and getting close to the water. He finally felt comfortable enough to walk into the water and then he just kept going. He was swimming with the big dogs! Then he realized he was swimming and quickly came back. Within seconds, he was jumping off the dock into the water and we just laughed and laughed. He was so proud of himself and it was cute as ever. I really wished I had my camera with me, next time I guess.

Oh my goodness! Cooper is doing the same thing, except he doens't know how to doggy paddle. He just swats at the water and makes splashes everywhere!
