Teaching H-Digity to swim! 6/6/2009

Harley's first swimming lesson was about a year ago, it didn't go well. Adam threw her off the boat when we went to Flaming Gorge last year with my parents! The water was FREEZING cold and she had never been in the water before. Being a WATER dog Adam figured she would just swim. She didn't. After he threw her off the boat he had to rescue her! It was one of the funniest things ever. Until now.
We took her out to Quail Lake today to try and get her used to the water once again. The kids tried to coax her out. Then Adam tried. She wanted NOTHING to do with the water! So, once again Adam figured if I can't coax her I might as well throw her in! Once she got in she loved it. There is just one problem. She doesn't know how to swim like a dog! She swims upright instead of horizontally! Watch the video of her on the last picture of this post-it is hilarious!
It was chilly and windy but the kids had a blast!



Here is the video of our poor dog. She comes from a LONG line of swimmers and champion hunters. Hopefully she will grow out of this and learn how to really swim this summer!
