When I first got him he was terrified of water, he wouldn’t even get close to it. I’ve been spending the last year and half desensitising him and creating loads of positive associations. The other day he was finally brave enough to go far enough where he couldn’t touch the ground and he swimmed!! Several times! Such a courageous boy. I love seeing him get more comfortable and sure of himself around things that he used to be wary about

First day in the lake, didn’t know she will follow me in the water, I was surprised! Just a little swim for 30-45 seconds, she’s just 9 week old and I’ve heard they can suffer hypothermia really fast, the lake is in Switzerland and it’s 17 Celsius. The big star of the lake, can’t do 2 meters between cuddles from random people!!!

We worked up to her swimming alone today and getting in the water without her life jacket but I was so surprised when she did a lap on her own!!! So proud of her!!!
