Dog Days of Summer!

Western Oregon University offers a dog swim right before they close their pool for cleaning and maintenance, so we decided to take Rusty. He loves his "kiddie" pool at home and loved the one at the pool!! When he first got to the pool, he immediately jumped in the large pool and suddenly realized he couldn't touch the bottom! The look on his face was too funny! It took both the lifeguard and me to coax (at one time, roll!) him into the water and encourage him to swim. He finally got the hang of it, but wouldn't leave the side of the pool. He just swam next to the edge! We all had a great time!!
Rusty discovered the "kiddie" pool after having been in the bigger pool - he's much happier here!!
This was the first timei he went in - he just couldn't wait to get out!!
We had to keep him swimming to the steps; Rusty wanted to climb out wherever he could! The yellow lab didn't like the water at all and kept watching Rusty!!!
