great weekend for the dogs.

ok had to post as I am usually saying my dogs don't get socialized because we live in the sticks. they tend to be jumpy and hyper around people when they come around.
this weekend was very hot and the dogs wanted to go for a dip in the lake. yes they tell me that by sitting next to the truck and whining. LOL
anyways took them there and it was crowded. usually no people there just boaters who are in the boats and gone. this time people by the launch, and then a fella comes up with another dog. mine are usually good with other dogs but you never know. the guy has his dog off the leash and in the water before I can even think about taking mine out of the water to leave.
Lucy the boxer who is usually very hyper, was fantastic. I think she is finally catching on. the little poodle was pretty good. but Lucy swam with the other dog for almost an hour. (ok swam is a relative term, she only goes in up to her chest usually. this time the water almost got over her shoulders but she could still walk) every time they came out of the water people would come and pet her and pat her on the side. she loved it. and didn't jump once. the guy who owned the other dog was actually great. he had owned a boxer so when she came by him he reached right out to pet her before she could think about jumping. He had already asked if she was friendly.
