    End of Summer Pool Party

    My good friend and training partner has a dog pool and luckily, my boys get along well with her Malanois so we have lots of playdates throughout the summer. She just got a puppy and Sam loves puppies more than swimming, so while Linus and her adult female Mal play in the pool, Sam and the puppy play on the deck.

    Sam and the puppy (in his Little Nemo life jacket) play while we chill out and Linus waits for for us to toss something in the water for him.

    Sam is chllaxing in the pool and the Mal is waiting to be released for that big blue ball.

    More puppy play. Sam is the best puppy nanny.

    Sam gets sick of the puppy and double karate chops him, sending him flying! We pretty much died laughing when it happened and then a litlte more once we realized she got this picture!

    Linus suddenly decided he'll start diving. I've been working on this with him for about two years now and he typically wins the "kerplunk award" when I get get him to jump in (usually he takes the ramp). Today he decided, on his own and without hesitation, that he's a dock diver. OK, maybe not a dock diver with a personal best of four feet, but he's getting braver!

    Those are great photos! How'd you get the dogs to stay on the float??? I love Sam the puppy nanny. For a brief time, Kimber was wonderful with puppies.

    They both have good stays. Just transferred the cue to the float. Linus does not like the float so much and he won't sit still for five seconds when he's at the pool anyway. The Mal does position changes (stand, down, sit), spins, etc. on the float.

    LOL Go Linus, way to dock dive.

    Sam, sometimes you have to use the inner Chuck Norris on puppies.

    What a great play date. If it's going to be stinking hot for you this week, as it is for us, maybe you should have one every day.

    I was fascinated with the float. Do they hop on at pool's edge and then get launched or is there some way for them to climb up on it.
