Learning to swim

So I found out my dog was a bit overweight

He loved to play, but I decided to try and introduce him to something new. Swimming.

On our morning bike ride, we found a lake. Hercules was little a excited.

He had always loved running through water...

but was a little hesitant when he actually had to swim for the stick.

Eventually, he took the plunge and swam for the stick.

All too soon, he was swimming further than I could throw...

so he swam across the lake and found a stick of his own.

Even after a 2.5 KM bike ride and a swim, he insisted on carrying the stick all the way home.

Now, every walk ends this way; him wet from swimming, carrying a stick he found all the way home.
