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!
