All Labs are good swimmers, and Monty is no exception. Give him a small lake, a stick to fetch, and he's a hooligan in heaven.
After the extensive Winter rains, the lake is once again filled; ready to be pumped up to the farmers fields. It's an artificial lake with a huge pumping system. The local farmers joined forces with the commune to build it, and they now each pay a tiny sum into the village coffers for its use in times of drought.
Bok's a bit wary of water. Last year he almost started to swim, but this year he's back to just running about in the shallows again. I don't think he'll ever be a champion swimmer like his big brother.
Just like Sophie - she will swim all year.
ReplyDeleteFabulous - do you ever join Monty for a bit of wild swimming?
ReplyDeleteIt's where we always used to swim... until we built our own pool. We've never swum together.
DeleteBok's just keeping watch for sharks. Beautiful boys.
ReplyDeleteI never ceased to be amazed at labradors and labradoodles natural love of water. I couldn't pay our Boris to go swimming!
ReplyDeleteToo shaggy maybe.... he'd absorb several gallons.
DeleteSomeone has to stay on shore as lifeguard.
ReplyDeleteYes, Bok is guarding the lake.
