Happiness project is still going well, living it more internally than externally (read: I remind myself everyday but don't always want to be on the computer blogging lol)
Last weekend we took Remington to his FIRST event at the Dearborn Mutt Strutt. Ultimate Air Dogs had a dock diving competition and I guess I just assumed Remi would be wonderful at it. Well, he wasn't... and I think I may have scarred him for life!
We went attempted to go swimming one time before the event, which got him excited abotu water, but not so much about being up to his neck in it. After failing to jump in after Justine's dogs, I had to throw him into the water so he would realize what he was supposed to do... I got this instead...
Kolby, Abbey, and Remington
Talk about feeling guilty after seeing this face!
At Mutt Strutt:
Poor baby :(
Um...really??
The same afternoon i was still really upset that he didn't love water, and it was warm enough so I put on some old clothes and ran into the water so he'd chase after and realize it's fun. Luckily he has separation anxiety enough that he followed and realized that he actually can swim and that it really is fun!
Proud Momma :)
Remington has been swimming four days in a row now and starts barkign and prancing when water comes into sight! He even races down the hill and jumps in the water before I can meet him down there. So proud of his progress! Hopefully we do better at this weekend's dock diving event :)
XOXO
