I thought Nova would enjoy swimming in a pool, instead of the gross pond across the street and indeed she did.
I took her frisbee, and I am glad I did, because there were so many tennis balls floating around that she would have had a hard time. But with the frisbee she always knew which toy was her toy.
She was a natural in the water and had no problem jumping into the deep end (after getting used to the pool). I wish I would have taken a picture of her jumping into the pool, because it was really funny.
There were two other chessies at the pool (seen below on the left). They were a lot curlier than Nova, but they had to same jump into the pool.
After the first hour, she stopped shaking after every time and only shook every two or three times.
She was a very happy dog. I am going to have to take her swimming more next summer.
After two hours of swimming, she was still ready to play, but about an hour after we got home she finally tuckered out and we napped for hours. It was a great Saturday.
