    Somebody Hates the Water?

    Georgia hates our inground pool even though we have drop in steps to get in and out. She wont come near it when I am in because I put her in once and she doesn't like it. Cooper, we coudn't keep out of the pool. Saturday afternoon we went out for a short walk and I decided to stop by the river. She jumped right in and splashed around. I am thinking maybe she doesn't like to be in over her head. I kept the leash on so she didn't get away from me.





    Thanks Everyone!!

    Rocco is the same way, some just don't know how to swim, if you want to help her learn, get a life jacket, keeps the head up in the water.

    More activities in water can help you to improve her to enjoy the water.

    LOL Georgia and Sarah must be related. Sarah loves to swim in Indian creek or the river but won't go anywhere near their kiddy pool - Bailey used to go into the pool to get away from her because he knew she wouldn't jump in
