I took the dogs to the swimming hole in Le Bois D'Opio. Kate jumps right in. The water gets deep as it gets close to the little falls. Emile can't bring himself to go in all of the way and he cries. Kate steals every stick, beats him every time. I get in thigh high and coax Emile closer. He wants me to pull him in. He trusts me. I grab him by his harness and pull him in over his head. Maybe I am imagining it but I think Kate is not happy when Emile gets all the way in. They fight over sticks and she steals every one of them from him even when they are in the deep water. Also, he can't see the sticks very well even when they are right in front of him. I should have tied his hair up on the top so he could see better.
By the time it was time to go, Emile had perfected his all out approach to getting in the water. He developed a technique where he just flew into the water with a big splash. He really loves to swim, he just has to be helped in.
He's such a sweet gentle soul.
