River Rats

The Columbia River is a happening place in the summer. It's the best way to cool down, relax, and totally enjoy the summer. We've been lucky enough to live 5 minutes away. We toss the dogs in the back of the truck and away we go. 

~Belle is our water dog. She would swim away if we let her. We keep her on the leash so she isn't whisked down stream!

~ Buster is learning how to grab his ball in the water. It was pretty funny because as the tide would go out he would go for the ball. Right when he would grab it a wave would splash him in his mouth and he would drop it! 

~Most of the time he sat and watched the ball come in and go out.
~You can't tell here but he finally got his ball. 
~Sage was a bit timid at first. Jake had to help her. 
Good thing summer just started here.

Oh how cute! We're trying to get Davey to be a water dog. We went to the lake last week and he would chase me in but as soon as he realized he was in water he booked it back out. Baby steps, I guess. Very cute pictures of your river rats.

Oooooo...!!! I just love reading about how they get into the water! And I was realllly relieved when you mentioned that you keep Belle on a leash when she is swimming!
