I love splashing around in the water with my canine buddies. Here is a tip on how to introduce dog-people to water safety. Although certain dog-fellows may instinctively know how to swim, some cannot and need to be taught. Don't assume your companion knows how to swim regardless of their breed and put a dog-person life jacket on them if they’re still learning. It’s important you always supervise them. When you’re in the pool, be sure they know where the exit steps are located. Start off in a gentle, shallow body of water where your friend can wade. As they get the hang of it, work your way up to pools and lakes. All dog-people on boats, canoes, rafts, and kayaks should be wearing life vests even if they’re great swimmers. This can not only help save them from waves, rapids, and undertows, it will make it easier for you to spot them and grab them if they go overboard. Please keep in mind that some dog-folk fear water and refuse to learn swimming; therefore, never force them into the water.
Now let’s bring a little fun into our lives with the joke of the day. This one is called, “Legend Has It…”
A confident traveler stood beside a scenic overlook, squinting thoughtfully at a towering peak across the water. His tour guide waited patiently, ready with dramatic folklore.
“That’s Black Mountain?”
“Yes, sir – the highest mountain around Lake George.”
“Any stories or legends connected to it?”
“Oh, plenty. Years ago, two young lovers climbed that mountain… and they were never seen coming down again.”
“Wow! What happened to them?”
“They went down the other side.”
?!
