Making a big splash.

Mud · 09-29-2008, 04:45 AM

Day before yesterday we started Hugo's swimming lessons. It was low tide at the beach and the water was flat. I started throwing the ball a short way from the shore and he returned it. I then tossed it further and further until he was retrieving it from as far as our ball chucker could send it. As he'd discovered that genetically he's a water retrieving dog yesterday morning we decided to progress him to small waves. Here is his first mini surf.

Good job Hugo!

Looks like he really enjoyed himself and made you very proud at the same time!

Thanks for sharing!

Hey Hugo, you can now be called dude, dood! What a surfer boy! Way to go! Spud is the observant type, he'll figure it all out in his head before he actually tries it!
