Oliver loves his Wubba

leave a comment »

Oliver, our newest rescue puppy, loves swimming. And he loves his blue Wubba. We throw it out into the lake as far as we can and he powers out to get it, bringing it back for another throw. Over and over and over. He does not get tired. I am so amazed that he has recovered so quickly from his slow start in life. Raw food is a miracle.

The Wubba gets a little water logged after about fifteen throws but it doesn’t sink. Oliver swims directly to it even when it rides a little low in the water. I squeeze out as much water as I can and throw it again.

Oliver loves to play tug with me a little bit when he brings the Wubba back. Then he gives it to me and gets ready for another throw. He’s so funny.

Today we were all soaking wet at the end of play time. Dancer, who is a great help in the water, she does not like to swim. Tilli, who chases her ball in the shallow water. Frankie, who loves to swim but we don’t send her out as far as Oliver can go yet. She’s only just four months old now. And Oliver and me.

Life is good.
