When the puppy plunge event was over we took Oshie home, gave him a bath and settled into the living room to watch a movie. Oshie jumped up on the couch with us and couldn’t keep his eyes open.Video proof below. Excuse my stupid narrative, it is hard not to talk to a dog like they are a child. I do enjoy wearing Oshie out because he sleeps for the rest of the day which gives Nancy and I time to relax. Normally he would be pestering one of us every 30 minutes to go outside just so he could come back in ha-ha.

Puppy Plunge Part 4

If any of the individuals who attended the puppy plunge went into it thinking that they were not going to get wet…they were crazy. The images of Oshie below display what was happening all around the pool. The best part was when it would happen right behind someone who wasn’t expecting it (which honestly everyone should have been).

Puppy Plunge Part 3

Building Confidence

Oshie loves being in the water but it is the getting in part that he doesn’t like (at least at the pool). At first he wasn’t sure how to get in and would eventually kind of fall in with a little help from me when he just couldn’t get up the courage. By the end of the event he was much more confident and actually jumped in a few times. You can still see the look of uncertainty on his face though.

Puppy Plunge Part 2

Fetch! Oshie had a blast chasing the tennis balls. Many of the retrieval attempts ended in fear face and panicked paddling. He still hasn’t learned to keep himself level in the water so he points up and his front legs flail and splash the surface. The result is way too much energy wasted trying to get to the safety of dry land. He will figure it out eventually. He just needs to raise his butt and use his back legs more.
