When my sister was about 3 weeks old my cousins came to visit from the south. That little white dog is my cousin Sharkie, and the bigger dog on the right is my newly rescued cousin, Scout. And of course you know me and Trooper!
Since it’s rude not to take your guests on fun adventures when they visit you, of course I had to take them to the river for some swimming fun!
And don’t worry, my sister came along for the fun too. Although she was much too young to join in the water activities.
Trooper and Scout became fast friends and took to the water in no time. Especially Scout who I think may be part fish.
Now I tend to be a little more reserved with my swimming, and I usually don’t like to swim unless I have my life vest* on. But unfortunately this was a spur of the moment trip and I forgot to pack it! (Same with the other dogs who have life vests too).
While mom always keeps a watchful eye on me when I’m around the water, she had to watch my sister too.

So my pal Trooper stepped up to keep a watchful eye on me when I finally decided it was so hot that I had to test out the water.
What a great pal, making sure I got to shore safely each time.
Next time I’ll be sure to pack my life vest, but it’s good to know I’ve got friends that will help me out!
Does your dog like to swim?
Now because it’s also Birthday Week, my awesome friends at Barkbox decided to pass along even more goodies to everyone (aren’t they sweet!). Here’s your chance to win your dog a Barkbox subscription! Woohoo!
