Dance pictures...

Here are some pictures I took today and thought I'd share. We'll be going on a trip (just to visit family) in a couple of days, so these will probably be the last ones for almost a month as after I get back I'm house-sitting for somebody. On our way back from Saskatchewan, we'll be stopping to meet Shayna (Cali) and her girls so if I get a chance, I'll try to post some pictures from that before I'm gone again, but I might not get to it. Anyway, onto today's pictures!

I was so excited - Dance finally discovered swimming was fun! Normally the only reason she'll get into the water is if she has to save her ball and only if her paws can still touch the bottom. Today though, there was one point where she leaped into the water herself and just swam around in the middle of nowhere chomping at twigs and weeds. She did that for about 15mins without coming back to shore, and then I tossed her ball in so that she'd come back. It didn't look like she had any intentions of leaving the water now that she'd discovered how much fun swimming was. Anyway, I'm probably the only person in the world who gets excited over the fact that their dog likes to swim, but I had to share.

That's all of them!

Dance is lovely as always.

Pretty girl. And she looks so darn cute when she is wet. :) I look forward to seeing pictures of her and Elektra together.

She is one stunningly beautiful dog!!

How ever did I miss this? Dance, you are lovely as always!:love:

Looks like it was a hot day! Good thing there was water nearby. Where are you going in Saskatchewan?

Great pictures! And don't worry... I was VERY excited and happy the day Rita discovered swimming was so uch fun!:D Dance is a very pretty girl!

she does look like she has so much fun :)

Snowy would retrieve her toy if I throw it into the water but given the option I think she would rather go inside a burrow than go swimming, that's a terrier for you :D

She is so cute! And certainly she's grown since about a year ago when I last saw her :p.

Nothing like a good swim. :D Way to go Dance! Now if only Chipper could figure that out. :)

Dance is such an amazing looking girl. I love the way the color of her collar goes so well with her orange-ish red coat. Gorgeous. :] I am glad she discovered how much fun swimming can be... she looks like she had a blast!

What a gorgeous sweetie! And I get excited when my girl does something she had been reluctant to do and found that she liked it!

I can stare into those gorgeous eyes forever! Dance is gorgeous wet, dry, standing, swimming..She is fabulous!

Reminds me of my Jamie when she swims! :)

I want a toller SO bad!

The first photo is a keeper! She has such a loving, soft look in her eyes, about her. Then we get to the action shots and see there is something MORE behind that soft surface, he hee. Good set up!

How marvelous that she enjoyed the water finally! Maybe she just needed the air and water temps to be "just right." Please give her a squeeze from me!

She is such a beautiful girl!

I'm glad she likes swimming now.

Dance is one of the prettiest dogs I know! She looks just so graceful! Glad she has found out how much fun swimming is!

Haha, no, no....I would be THRILLED as well! I've always wanted a water dog. This summer Jack jumped off of the dock at our cabin for the first time ever, I was so excited, I've been showing everybody that comes over :D Except, he only does it because I want him to, like everything else, I'm not sure that he enjoys it. But I'm hoping he'll learn to like it at some point...

Anywho, Great pictures. I absoultely love that girl of yours!!!!
