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.

Another Hot One

Today is supposed to be back up in the 90s. We can’t wait until the temperatures get cool and stay that way. Oshie is ready with his Quicksilver sun hat.

He also participated in a puppy plunge at the outdoor pool on base. He had a blast and is exhausted. It is apparent that he needs swimming lessons. He doesn’t use his back legs very well which leads to him tipping way back instead of staying level. He will learn eventually. Pictures of the puppy plunge to come soon.

Looking Handsome.

Just a random shot of Oshie from the other day. The wind blew right as the picture was being taken giving him thay model look haha. Taken with the cell phone because I was too lazy to get the camera out.

Day 35: Oshie’s New Cousin

My brother Ethan has added another dog to the family. Boston (his current lab mix) has a little brother and Oshie has a new little cousin. Meet the yet to be named 7 week old Chocolate Lab cutie. We just had to go see him as soon as we got home from work today.

We brought Oshie and of course they immediately became friends.

He was tired from playing with the big dogs.

This little guy is afraid of nothing. He was barreling up and down the back deck stairs. He might end up being a handful. Good luck Ethan!

There are a few names on the table but if you have a suggestion leave a comment. Thanks!

Day 34: Cooling Off

Saturday afternoon was spent canoeing with Nancy, my brother Ethan, his roomate Scott and their dog Boston. Oshie and Boston seemed to enjoy watching us struggle with manuevering the canoes but they enjoyed the swimming even more.

Oshie loves the water but he has only ever been to the beach so he has never actually done any real swimming. He did well especially when we had the life jacket on him. When we took it off he struggled a bit but a few more trips to the river and he will be like a fish.
