Bear's Introduction to Water!

We took Bear for his intro to water maybe 3 weeks ago to Round Valley Resevoir. He had a great time. At first of course he was wary, but then was wading all over and even swimming short distances, even over his head to grab a stick. Although he didn't like the over the head part and started shying away from that.

Since then he has gone into streams and ponds and loves the water. The other day i threw a stick in a pond (Lenape pond) where it was over his head maybe only a foot out from the bank. (i didn't actually know this) Needless to say he got quite the surprise when he jumped in but he certainly didn't get scared! It's a good thing i had a leash on him because he started swimming off to the middle of the pond! hahah!

Here are some pics of the round valley trip.
I also threw in some pics from Memorial day, which was his first trip to the beach. Dogs never cease to amaze me in what they eat. He ate so much sand the poor thing was constipated for several days and threw off his digestion for practically a week!

"hmmm i think i like this..."

"This is awesome! Throw the stick, i DARE you!!"

Good Job Bear!

Bear loved the beach...i guess it made him tired...or maybe he's just sleeping off a meal of sand...yum!

Wow! Bear is growing so fast! He still has lots of growing and we're already saying..."aww remember how small he was!"

Bear is a rascal sometimes...but really...he's such a nice puppy.
