Go home!

On Tuesday Diesel met his old friend Taffy.

Then they were joined by Dylan and Jake.

Dylan and Taffy both like chasing balls.

Taffy liked playing with his friends so much he did not want to go home.

He was put on his lead,when he was eventually caught.

Dylan will do anything to find a ball.

He has the thousand yard stare of a fetch addict.

The boys stayed still for minutes for this photograph.

Jake stayed so still that there was not even a ripple in the water.

Who says black dogs can't point?

It is not often that Diesel beats Dylan to a ball.

Just before Dylan and Jake went home they met little Millie again.

Then it started to rain heavily.

Diesel thought he could sneak up on some ducks in the lake.

Millie was already very wet from the rain.

When she saw Diesel swimming,she decided to try it herself.

This is her very first swim!

Wow your adventures just get better and better. Glad to see you are teaching other breeds in the art of vizslahood! Millie looked like she enjoyed the swim I wonder if she will keep it up.

Loving the frequent updates.
Keep well

Thankyou Ziggi,
not every dog can be a vizsla and I feel we have an obligation to help those less fortunate than ourselves.

Hello Charlie,
Diesel,Rosie and Dylan do a lot of swimming and so do their friends.
They swim in a lot of places.
Over the years Anthony has had many concerned people warning him about dogs who became ill after swimming in various ponds,lakes and rivers.
But he has never had a problem and nor have his friends.
He thinks that evidence of illness associated with swimming spots is often just circumstantial.
Of course that may depend on how dirty the pond is but if you don't get better after not swimming for a while,it may be something else.
On the otherhand,if you do get better,you will need to find a cleaner pond to swim in!

Diesel.
