Whoever said you can’t teach an old dog new
tricks, never met Arri. He has adapted to 3 legs so incredibly well. Today he did something I have been trying to
get him to do for 13 years. We have had
an incredible hot spell lately. I dragged
out the dog pool nearly killing myself in the process. Some tall person put it on the upper shelf of
the shed and then filled it with snow shovels.
Thankfully I got out of the way without getting hit. As I am dragging it across the lawn, Summer
jumps in. No water, she just lays in the
dry pool. So that is where it is going
to go today. This was Oregon’s first
experience so he amused everyone while the pool was filling.
The dogs played and splashed, bobbed for
tennis balls and dog kibble. Now that
there was water in the pool, Princess Summer would not go in.
It was close to 100 degrees. The dogs were hanging out in the grass when
Arri stepped hopped into the pool and laid down. Yes, this was his new trick. He has never laid down in the pool. Not on command, not for bribes, he would not
do it. It seems like such a silly thing
to celebrate. I just never understood
how a dog could love swimming so much but refuse to lay down in 4 inches of
water. I guess it just wasn’t hot enough.
