Today we did something we've never done. We took our Yellow Lab, Otis, Dock Diving! It was so. much. fun. We didn't know how he would do but decided it would be worth whatever humiliation we would endure. We were a wee bit nervous with anticipation. Otis, of course, was oblivious to what was in store for him.
We had a sneaking suspicion he would love it because he lives to play ball. We haven't taken him swimming in a few years so we weren't sure how he would take to the water. Also, as the groomer said recently, he's a bit skiddish. He had to wait about an hour for his turn.
Each dog was given 2 minutes to give it a try. First, they were introduced to the ramp & then progressed to the dock. Otis was a willing participant & gave it his all. It took him a few tries to catch on, but he progressed quickly. By the end of his 2 minutes, he was almost jumping in ahead of the ball.
Afterwards, we treated him to a doggie sundae at our special ice-cream get-away. He came home & slept like a baby for hours. All tired out from too much fun! The weather was perfect. The food was delish! Doing something special for our boy was a hoot. Priceless.
