Just add water.....(pics)

And, the St. B turns into a FISH!!!

Out at my sister's house, Binx follows Rafe, the rottie, into the POND!!!


Rafe goes into the pond many times a day, to cool off...and just bobs about like the lochness monster...

Binx doesn't seem as fond of the pond as Rafe and Sugar, the newest rescue...and walks right back out.

They stay and play..with the little girl seeking refuge on Rafe's back.

Binx prefers his own 'pond'...the $9.99 special, filled with hose water, under a canopy, complete with tennis balls.

Only problem is, he won't lay down in it!! He just gets his ankles wet. Maybe he is afraid he will ruin his hair? He he..

How funny! Both our Saints LOVED the water, and would plunge right in - especially if we went first! Freckles would even fetch rocks if we picked an at-least fist-sized one and threw it in the pond, she'd come back out with that exact rock!

The funniest was, we would "fake drown" - call her, then sink underwater so she couldn't see us from shore. She'd plunge right in, and swim up to us and nudge us to the surface, but it's always quite hysterical to see a Saint Bernard underwater - the ears float and the jowls float so it was very hard to keep from laughing she looked so comical!

Freckles, though, did NOT like the beach - those waves kept chasing her, so she'd bark at them and they'd retreatr ... then the wave would come back, and she'd have to scare it away again ... one trip to the ocean with her was plenty!

lol

Aww Binx, you are so cute :D:D

I think he is going to like the water. I was totally surpised to see him trot in to the pond right behind Rafe (well, maybe not exactly right behind him). I am trying to get him used to the water, as mom has a pool!! We intend to be over there alot!

Great pics,
I loved the one with Binx standing in the
kiddie pool.
My dogs only would drink out of those kiddie pools,
at least Binx will stand in one.

I was just thinking about Binx. :)
He is so cute. What a cute boy. :D :D

Great Pictures!!!
He is soooo CUTE!!
Thanks for sharing!!!

What a cutie! Love the pic of him in his own special pond! :D

haha awwwwww the pics are soo cute!
i love the little pond binx has, sooo cute!!!!
thanks for sharing!!

I love Binx. I could look at pictures forever!! What cuties! I hope you guys can come on the 13th. Hey, bring you sister and her poochies!

I have asked my sister time and again to come on up to the dog park...as I know she lurks, maybe she will see this!!!

Come on sis, join us, join us!!!

Binx is such a cutie!!! He's looking good!! Has he put on more weight?

I am really trying to figure out how to fill a wading pool at the Dog Park...I think in July it may be hot enough all the dogs would appreciate it (if they get get Sadie out of the way, fromlaying inthe middle of it !!)

How is Sugar doing? Are they going to keep her?

Awwwwww! Binx is sooo cute!!! Great pics!

Eat your heart out Mark Spitz. Binx is marvelous. Somehow I can't picture him in red Speedos though!! :D

Hey AK....why not get together with Liz and you guys ride on up to the park on the 13th too? That would be so fun. If you guys wanted to come and wanted to come through Fort Wayne we could caravan up there!

ATTENTION JO'S SIS!!!!!!!!!

GET YOUR BUTT UP TO THE DOG PARK ON THE 13TH! THAT'S AN ORDER! WE WANT TO SEE YOU AND THE POOCHIES!

Ok, I'm done now. Was that forceful enough?

Sounds like a good idea to me AK--and I can promise one pure airedale and one mix as a temptation....

Amy,
Here are a couple of Sugar pics...she has no problem blending with the big doggies. I will defer to my sister as to whether they are keeping her or not.

Sugar on the porch...

Sugar with Rafe the rottie, Sera the shephard, and Binx the Bernard...oh, that is Rob...he prolly won't appreciate being on the internet..but, that is a great shot of all four doggies. We were teasing Rob about his very own dog park, complete with pond.

What great pic! Binx is such a magnificient dog, and he has the sweetest face!! :D

Nebo's plenty willing to go IN water, up to his belly...but not swim...he has a little pool at home too. He twirls around, splashes, and bites the water constantly....but he refuses to sit or lay in it either. :rolleyes:

Binxy boy - gorgeous pup!!!

AND

Sugar ......... what a honey. Glad your sister is "keeping" her ..... for now ........... forever???? :p

Did I mention Sugar is ADORABLE!! I love her!!!! Look like she has she big paws to grow into!! I vote they keep her!!!!

What lovely pics! Mr Binx is such a gorgeous boy, and Sugar is absolutely adorable, wish they both could be mine!:D

Loved the pix! :D

Binx, you are such a handsome boy... wet or dry. :D

Love the pictures Johanna:)

I bet Binx will be swimming in no time with such great friends! Raffe, Sera, Binx and Sugar look like they get along pretty good.

Tell your sis we INSIST that she come (and bring that beautiful rotti Raffe with;) )
