SSD Picnic and swimming

This past Saturday Mom and I went down to the kennels for an SSD puppy picnic! There were a lot of dogs there but only one other small puppy to play with. SSD Parks and I had a blast playing in the yard. She was shorter than me and her sister SSD Hale, who I play with at puppy class. After playing Mom went to eat lunch and I was a very good boy and sat under the table quietly. While at the kennel I got to play on the obstacle course. Mom took a picture of me going up the big ramp which I was a little nervous on but I was following my new friend. She is a little girl who kept playing with me and would give me some treats. I really enjoyed her.

On Sunday I went swimming! That was a big surprise to Mom. She seemed very excited that I willingly went into the water. I guess I should explain why. Last week when I went to work with Mom she took me into the fenced in area with the in-ground swimming pool to see if I was interested in going for a swim. While she wasn't looking I decided to check the area out. I had no idea what an in-ground pool was and I'm all brave and don't need Mom to be everywhere, so I was walking and sniffing and the next thing I knew I was in water! A lot of water! I fell head first into the pool, I still had my harness and collar on. Luckily Mom fished me out. After that I was not thrilled to go into the pool. Mom even got her swim suit on and carried me out into the water and I just swam to the steps and got out as fast as possible. After all this I really did enjoy playing in the pool with Burnaby.

Tomorrow for puppy class we are going to a farm! I'm really excited.
