Lol D2!
We've been putting an inch or two of water in an old plastic dog bed and leaving it on the decking. Flossie ignores it but the pigeons love it

Holidaying in Barcelona this week, and witnessed an elderly gent rolling up his trousers to get into the fountain that his dog was paddling in. Thought he was getting in to put the dog on it’s lead and yank him out, but he was actually helping the older dog with lift up to the deeper tier of the fountain so it could have a proper swim with the younger dogs.

Ernie loves water. All water. He will seek it out to cool off and it doesn't matter what kind of water. Sea water, river water, loch water, bog of doom that cannot be described as water. He'd love a paddling pool or fountain.
We left Ernie on Friday with our next door neighbour. We were supposed to be away until tomorrow but the plan was aborted. Neighbour said he was good once he realised we weren't coming back. Took his lead from her 2 dogs mostly. He did wake her at 6am but she seemed OK about that. We arrived back and I could hear him whining from the street- he had heard my car!! We got a very enthusiastic welcome home.

Belle loves all forms of water and mud, so long as there are no waves. She was nonplussed on Monday when a squall made the sea rough for Monday's beach run.
After last week's warm Elgin parkrun she enjoyed a dip in the River Lossie. After last night's torrential rain she had a huge choice of puddles at Alness this morning.

Jet looked longingly at the rain splashed patio out of the window today, but my thought was of muddy paw prints on the floor, so the dog was disappointed.

I let Jet into the garden just as the woman who lives in the house behind* us climbed up to the top of the fence looking for their cat.
Jet turned into a guard dog and crossed the garden barking with a deep 'this is my garden, get off my land' bark that I haven't heard before. Give him a GS costume someone!
The woman fell back down the fence and I heard her partner ask, "Where is that dog?" in a slightly worried tone.
Good boy Jet
* We back into a corner so actually have four houses with back fences adjoining ours.
**Their cat is in the garden next door and they think it can't climb over the fence. I know full well that it can and will, when it's ready. It jumps up fast enough when it sees Jet.

Rory will paddle, if I’m paddling, in a long-suffering kind of way, but always with a ‘why exactly are we doing this?’ expression.
I know he can swim though, because he once swam across quite a wide bit of river to get onto the local MOD base. I thought it was fenced off. Turns out they hadn’t bothered to carry on the fence into the water.
