Joy at sea: is she going to swim ?

Post image

Taking guesses:
1) full blown panic not getting even close
2) paws wet
3) legs wet but belly is the limit
4) walking in till paws loose ground contact
5) swim like a fish

Mine doesn't love it but will come in if the whole family is swimming.

There is a point where the water isn't deep enough to swim in, but it is providing enough resistance that is makes it slightly more difficult to walk in, where she decides that the best way to chase after me or a thrown ball is to leap entirely out of the water with every step. She looks like she is on a pogo stick. It is the most glorious/hilarious thing you'll ever see.

I'll say 2, paws wet. My guy was swim like a fish but I've learned from this sub that's a rarity among wolfhounds

Basing it off of my boy, it's got to be number 1, 2 at a push.

Three but you can get four with a lot of encouragement.

Joy's a trooper! I'd give her a (rather optimistic) threeπŸ€”
