A very muddy puppy
So today we took Nitro to our dog park. Now, I know there's a lot of controversy over dog parks, but I love ours. It's actually a trail that goes around a lake and there's two open fields. So it's more like taking the dogs on a walk with other dogs passing occasionally. I love it and we've never had a problem. This may be because it's not very known about and there aren't EVER a ton of people. Anyways, this isn't to cause issues about that. Nitro did wonderful as expected but the exciting part is...

I got him to go into the water. This was an especially big step because of what happened at the lake yesterday.

I went in first and picked him up. (There's this REALLY shallow part of the lake, the highest point was midway up his leg so not deep at all.) We played with his frisbee and ball and he realized that water really is so exciting! At the end, he would follow me no matter where I went or how deep I went (which wasn't deep at all), AND would go in by himself after a ball!

Of course afterwards he decided to go roll in the mud. Icon_confused

Anyways, here's some pictures Smile

I really hope he ends up being a water loving dog.

He is so darn cute!
In their short lives our pets give us all they can...their friendship, unselfish love, and total loyalty.

It's almost like the dock incident never happened. He is onto bigger and better things now. After all he is a Border Collie. ; )

I envy your water spot, look great.

Great pics, looks fun! I love the second to last pic. It is so pretty with the leaves and water, plus your cutie pie. Glad he is getting on well with the water!
