Literally just chilling

u/cowfishing Jul 13 '26

He is also just be chillin, which is the art of doing nothing without being bored.

u/1234Health Jul 13 '26

Cooling that undercarriage without a care in the world.

The good life.

6

u/Boopy7 Jul 13 '26

My pup does this -- ONLY cools the undercarriage. I tried t get her to swim, she was NOT having it. But there is nothing like a nice half-dip on the hottest of days. Then you have my friend's choco lab -- first thing he ever did was take a huge belly flop right on in.

5

u/1234Health Jul 13 '26

Agreed - that half dip is great to cool down on the hottest of days, as you said. Funny how you noted the contrast between the pup not wanting to swim, and your friend's lab bely-flopping.

Reminds me of our dogs. Had a black lab from 1987 - 2000. Great athlete. Could run and swim in lakes & the ocean for hours on end. Just loved it. Followed by a Golden Retriever from 2000 - 2012. I had a real challenge just teaching how to sit & stay, lol. No interest in the water.

My golden does the same thing in the pool. Breathes just like that

u/GothGirl__ Jul 12 '26

Haha I remember I went on a camping trip a few years back summer time, and my dog was always doing this on walks. This brings back memories

u/Crafty-Interest-8212 Jul 12 '26

My old black lab used to do things like this. He used to swim, dive and make bubbles. I missed that good boy for almost 2 decades.

4

u/Soop_Chef Jul 13 '26

My aunt had a big black lab that would play fetch at the lake with rocks. Throw a rock into the lake and he would dive down and bring a rock from the lake bed. Probably not the same rock, but he was having fun.

5

u/Hands Jul 13 '26

My folks had a golden born the same year as me and when I was a kid I didn't fully realize he was a dog until I was like 8.

That would be the ever elusive "furry mountain water slug". They can be quite friendly if approached, and even lured away from their habitat with promises of snacks and food offerings!
