Lately, I've been thinking that we need to invest in a life-preserver for Tegan! When I researched life-preservers for dogs, I was amazed at the variety available. Since she's a water-loving dog, and since we've already had our first experience with her running into the river with another Labrador, I think it's appropriate. I was having fits of panic that she'd get pulled along in the muddy waters, but she stayed near shore with Buster (the instigator of this adventure) and emerged looking exactly like him - BLACK!

It's a good thing Lorne had his camera handy, although I had to holler at him to take photos before she drowned! Thinking back on it now, it was quite ludicrous, but at the time it was horrifying! I had images of my lovely little Labrador puppy drifting off down the river and out to the mighty Pacific Ocean, only to become a luscious meal for some sort of sea creature! Of course, Lorne thinks I should lighten up and just go with the flow. (pardon the pun!)
Of course I put all the photos together to make a little slideshow for you all. I hope it gives you as much of a laugh as it does us - now! And be sure to turn the music up loud 'cuz it really helps set the mood!

yes, nice tribute to D's poultry!
Lovely! She's growing so fast. that's the trouble with pale dogs: everyone sees the dirt more easily and says, 'oh what a dirty dog!
I remeber our dog which didn't like to be washed either. Wonderful video.
Something else Leslie. I saw that you scheduled the introduction of M on 11 April. Shouldn't that be on 9 April? Or am I mistaken?
Lovely xx
We have to keep them safe, don't we?
Great tribute and post. I didn't realize there were life preservers for dogs. Carver, ABC Wed. Team
Oh I love your slide shows and the photos...handsome dog and vest! Have a great week.
Tegan has the most delightful expressions on his face.
I laughed out loud at the pouty one.
Oh my the color of your beautiful bath tub....
This is a fun post Leslie.
Thanks for the tribute to Denise's hens. I have been gone and didn't know anything about it.
Oh loved your slide show...and good to know you dear Tegan was baptized properly with imersion!! HaHa
Great post, and nice tribute to Denise's hens.
Lots of great 'L' words ~ and wonderful images ~ ^_^
I didn't realize they have life preserver for dogs. How incredible.
A perfect picture of the ordeal a dog goes through at bathrime. Great post, as always Leslie.
Dogs grow too quickly! I shudder at the thought of a drowning doggie, nice and cheery choice of life vest!
Very cute, I would love to hold it in my arms.
A lovely L post! I enjoyed it very much! Sorry about Ms. Nesbitt's hen!
LOVE it! You know, of course, that it was the bath that wore Tegan out!
Oh yes so funny. My stepson's Lab is always launching itself into muddy ponds and its companion the spaniel likes to follow but with its little legs usually finds it easier to get in than get out.
BTW Your right in your Windermere assumption from your visit to this part of England.
Got a chuckle Leslie! Love your post! Your dog is growing up so quickly.
lovely, loveyshow you put on.
can't help but chuckle. what an adventurous dog, and dirty, LOL!
So sorry about Denise's lovely chicken! Your little one is getting more handsome each day!

Sorry to hear about Ernest, hope Mabel isn't too lonely!
I really enjoy participating in ABCWednesday, and am thankful for all of you who make it happen!
Tegan is one lucky and much loved little (or not so much any more) guy! May you enjoy a lifetime together:)
That is just priceless Leslie...my goodness what a good job you did with the slide show. You must also be into scrap booking as your slideshow was so well put together music and all! Beautiful puppy! Looks like he behaved though!
I never realized you can get life preservers for dogs - but that certainly makes sense.
Tegan is getting bigger....!!
I enjoyed your video. She has such an incredibly Lovely face. Black Jack used to hate baths, but since I got the idea of putting a special treat on the edge of the tub.. one that I don't give her at any other time.. broken up into little tiny bits.. she quite likes them now :) Life jackets are a wonderful idea, but a fast moving river, even with the preserver, is dangerous. And after seeing how quickly a little mink killed a huge seagull (seconds.. just one bite and then held its head under water), I know a reliable recall is vital. A dog who swims too far out can run into problems (seals, otters, fatigue). I'd rather see your cautious attitude. One mistake is sadly sometimes one too many.
