What We Call a Weekend Getaway, Jersey Calls Heaven a/k/a Confirmation that We Own a Water Dog

B finally got some time off on the weekend so we took advantage of it and went up north to his parents' cottage where we are RIGHT NOW. That is right. This is practically a live action post. Well, practically.

In any event, aside from the relaxation that B and I were both looking forward to, we were also very eager to see how Jersey would take to the lake. I haven't shared with you exactly how much Jersey loves the water. ANY water.

We first noticed when B washed the car. That dog loves the hose. And the sprinkler. And the kiddie pool B bought her. And the water dish. Get the picture? We were pretty confident she would love the lake, but you never can tell with these things.

She loves the lake.

B immediately took the retrieving dummy and hurled it into the lake. Here is a "live" action shot. It is not happening now, but whatever:



Jersey jumped right in like it was her job:


She is part lab. I guess it is her job. She would go as far out as you sent her. Sometimes even farther:


If thrown to the side, she would run the length of the shore and then dive in:

And retrieve it. Always bringing it back:

Such a good girl.


Even when her master got lazy, she did not:


Can you spot Jersey in this pic? I swear she is in there:


Not a happy dog when she has to come inside. She just sits and longingly looks at the outside:


Right now she is asleep at my feet. B put her through quite a workout today. I am hoping to figure out how to upload videos because they are pretty hilarious (and short).

Until then, back to vacation...

Enjoy your little vacay! Hope you guys get some rest and relaxation, some fun and some sun! :)

Debi - She is! She is totally sad now that we are back home and has been looking longingly at the neighbor's hot tub.

jlynn - It was a great vacation! I only wish it could have been longer.

I love it! Jersey would but Baxter and Buddy to shame. She goes out so far! If you have a water dog, that means you are just like the Obama's........

Jennifer - Jersey is a water champ! Actually, though, I think that is the only thing I have in common with the Obamas.
