You did well by her Tel, she's a lucky dog to find you really.

On a different point, did you have trouble keeping your nails looking as nice as that when you were on the tools?

 

[telectrix]

still on the tools , mate. as for the nails, they come in useful for scratching my back, except when she gets carried away. :Mr-T:

misia has just turned 4 last month. we must have done something right.

Mine was like that , though she usually stripped the bark of roots underwater. She was a proper water baby.

I thought ours was the opposite - if we walk down a path after rain he avoids puddles. At first I thought it was just random chance but after enough times you can't reasonably accept it as that. But one time I was walking across a bridge over a shallow stream and he decided to paddle through the water rather than follow me over the bridge. That surprised me. It's not that he has an aversion to bridges. We crossed a couple of them to get there.

On the plus side, it washed his feet from the mud he'd been running around in.

If my dog was in the water , sea , river or lake . She would stay there all day if you let her.

One day she was in so long she developed a condition that i had not hear of till then.
The day after , when she tried to get up in the morning she could not stand , or put weight on her rear end.
I took her straight to the vet , who diagnosed her with 'Labrador s tail'.
Apparently they use their tail as a rudder , and it causes them a lot of pain. I felt really bad about that at the time .
