Our Water Dog




Chloe is our labrador retriever (which Cole knew early on and people were impressed with his knowledge and ability to say such big words)...and she is of course a water dog. She has always loved the water - swimming out in a pond or lake or river just to swim - and even riding the rapids from time to time. Well...she had never experienced the ocean, so coming here I was interested to see how it would be. The first time she wasn't too sure and I believe got a bit too much salty water, but she's a smart dog and has learned. We have been out a few more times with her and she is getting more and more comfortable. I love to play fetch with her and she loves to fetch. These are pictures from a few different trips.

We are leaving for the states tomorrow after being here for almost six months! It should be a bit strange and an adjustment being back and we are of course excited to see family and friends. Chloe and Spencer (el gato) are staying behind and we just left Chloe off at a vet and boarding spot. We will miss them both --- and wish them well in their different locales. Feliz Navidad!
