Wet Pumpkin

Posted on June 26, 2015 by Mike

Pumpkin has never actually gone for a swim. She will walk in water, until it touches the top of her legs, and she will lick it too, but oddly does not swim. My sweet beautiful dog.

  Ha! Sweet offer. Today she ran off leash at a beautiful mountain reservoir and played in the water. Now she is asleep, the big honey.

  I suppose that is a possibility, Amit. Still, she has webbed feet that are made for swimming. So if I went in deeper water, she might follow? hmmm. Can I just toss a duck in instead?

And you have never gone for a swim and had her follow you?gosh she is such a golden retriever ! A total wooz! My Dougal of the same breed and long gone was also a pussy but he hated me calling him that, he he. He was such a wooz, he wouldn’t step over an electrical cord if it was in his path. He reasoned that if it wasn’t there before and he didn’t see it being put there then it was supernatural and definitely terrifying! X

  I read your comment to Pumpkin and she indicated that it is not her favorite comment. I think it was the wooz reference. That’s my best guess because when I was done reading your comment she sniffled some and fought back tears.

    He’s fantastic! Similar looking to yours. He’s Golden Retriever mix with a Pyrenees Mountain Dog. If you want to have a look at him out (I’m a proud mother, I can’t help myself) go to the posts from 02/07/15 and 03/08/15.
    Take care

  She is good at bringing a ball back but won’t drop it so I guess it’s a retrieval of sorts. Oh but what a sweetheart she is. Thanks.

  Thanks Kelly and Pumpkin is now home and when she got here she ran into the backyard and barked….at nothing. Guess she just wanted to make sure everyone knew it was her yard, again.
