Day 196

The Doggies' New Ride

Kona Swimming After the Ball...Over and Over

Dixie, the Little Swimmer

Today, we put the dogs in the back of the Blazer for the first time.  Dixie was strapped in with a short leash.  And, they loved the back of the car, while behaving.  Everyone was happy.  No Dixie climbing to the front, getting into trouble!  :)

We drove them over to Shadow Cliffs, a nearby swimming hole.  It all started with a long walk to the dog beach and then the swimming began.  Dixie went in right away, while Kona held back for a moment.  There was already a young dog playing in the water.  

The tennis ball was thrown and Kona went swimming back and forth for the next hour and a half.  More dogs came and went.  At one point, there were seven dogs swimming and playing.  Dixie didn't want to chase after the ball but she went for a swim every now and then.  

It was a fun time and now we have some sleepy dogs!
