Wiped Out...Done In.....Pooped Out
Well, it is Saturday and after My Vickie and I took care of the other critters here at Canine Country Club, we met up with my buddy Goose from Gospel of Goose and took him to my favorite swimmin hole.
Now Goose isn't much for water and I figured cause it is so cold now, he would probably like it even less today, but it was my goal to show him that Water is Good.
To get to my swimmin hole you get to play in some fields and walk along a real pretty little lake so we let out a little of our energy doing that while My Vickie and Gooses human Michelle, visited and walked along the path.
First think I did when we got to the swimmin hole was show Goose that there was nothing to worry about by jumping right in to the deepest part of it. He was tempted enough that he got his feet wet.
Then before you know it, he was joinin in the fun. Now he never actually got out where the water was deep but he did enjoy getting wet up to his belly.
I would go and get the sticks our humans threw out for us, then me and Goose would carry that heavy old stick back to shore together. He was a lot of help.......
I sure wish he had got out in the deep stuff with me, but I figure it is just a matter of time.
By the time we left to go home, I was FREEZING. You know playing in cold water takes a lot out of a guy. I came home and slept all afternoon while My Vickie did errands and took care of our guests.
Before I go, I just wanted to send a little "Thinking of You" to my Charlotte.
Have a nice Sunday everyone.
Bert and My Vickie

Charlotte sure gives you a beautiful view from way up there!
Goose is learning from the best!
Looks like a lot of fun!
Nothing like a little swim to wipe you out!
What that last photo is stunning! Worthy of a giant enlargement, matted & framed and displayed for all to see! What a fun day you had - and such beautiful pups!
Such a beautiful day!! Thanks for sharing it!!

Looks like a fun time, Bert. May I'd think water was fun if I had a friend like you to show me.

What great pics! We luf your reckless abandon wif water! Glad you enjoyed your day! xoxo
yegods! how amazing is that last picture!
hey Bert,
You are a super friend to share your swimming hole with Goose. Love all the photos! You are a great swimmer and fetcher! Both you and Goose are very handsome pups, and it looked like you two were having a blast! I am a snow dog myself, but I know I would love running with you through the fields to get to your swimming hole.
The last photograph is beautiful, and I am sure Charlotte received your thoughts loud and clear. :->
Sweet dreams!

Those are absolutely fabulous photos, Bert. I wish I could have joined you and Goose!

Well Bert my friend here I am and it's after 3am. Wish I could sleep but MOM is at the church sleepin' over with her youth, her kids she calls them. Bet she isn't sleepin' either.
Any woof. I am glad I can look back on our great day together. Thanks for showing me that water can be fun. Next time I'm going in all the way!
You're such a great swimmer I bet you could swim all the wat to Miss Charlotte.
Blessings,
Goose
We're glad you talked Goose into heading into the water, Bert. He looks like he had a great time!
That last picture is just gorgeous!
Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
What a great day! I am glad Goose got in the water, even if it was just a little!
Looks like you pups had lots of fun playing in the water. So cute! I like your Christmas header - feeling Christmasy!

Oh you sporty dogs always wanting to get wet. I just can't figure it.

Sounds like fun! That last picture is beautiful.
Oh, man, that's one of our favorite things to do, too! You and Goose look like you had a great time! And that sunset is amazing. And Mom really liked that pic of the moose brothers :)
The Road Dogs
Sounds like an absolutely wonderful adventure. Gorgeous photos. : )
Brrrr. Just looking at you swim in that weather is making me cold...
That looks like a GREAT adventure, Bert! Dave and I aren't sure about that "swimming" thing, but splashing around sounds OK to me! (Dave doesn't like to get his feety-feet wet.) Maybe it's a breed thing?
Anyway - glad you and Goose got to have such fun - and WOWZERS, is that last photo GORGEOUS!!!
Play bows,
Zim
We loves the wet stuff!! Mom doesn't let us go in when it's too cold though. She's such a wimp!
AROOOOOF!

Hey Bert I just loved all the pics. It really looked like lots of FUN. Seems to me that Goose had LOTS of FUN too!
But the last photo was just PAWSOMELY Beautiful!
woos, Tessa
Looks like you and Goose had a great time! :)
I is tired just watching you has the water zoomies lugging all those sticks!
Hey Bert,
You're a great teacher!! Goose sure looked like he was having a good time, glad he helped you with that heavy stick buddy!!
Did your Vickie have a nice warm hot water bottle waiting for you at home? :)
Glad you're having so much fun,
Your pal Snoopy :)
Wow, you had such fun! You taught Goose really well, and he looked joyous! That last photo is spectacular. What more can I say?
I read about your retirement and your therapy work. I admire you so much. I am amazed at how gentle a romping giant like you can be. You are perfect for therapy work, and I am so happy for you.
I also enjoyed reading about your trip up high before winter shuts it down, and seeing the MOOSE!
You're a good friend, Bert, to show Goose all that neat stuff. And to share your sticks. Jed is a water dog, like you [Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever]. Abby is decidedly not.

That's a pretty romantic picture, we think Charlotte will like it!

Thanks for joining our Monday Mischief Pet Bloghop! I love swimming too and I'm glad you convinced your buddy that water is all good! Maybe next time he'll join you in the deeper water. *Waggy Tail*
Looks like you had a lot of fun Bert. Hope you didn't get chilly from being in the water :)
I'm glad you showed Goose how to have fun! :)
Where is this? Beautiful photos! I love to swim too!
What a beautiful sunset to end a beautiful day.

You are brave, I am not a swimming doggie. I don't like water, but it looks like you had a blast with your buddy.
