Swimming with The Boy

We were at a Riverdrive Festival recently. It is held each year to honour and celebrate the Ottawa River and its historic contribution to our little town. There were vintage boats, great food, paddling & boat rides and traditional music.

We were invited as part of the Avalon Ranch Dock Diving & Agility demos. Avalon Ranch is where we train agility. We did the agility demo ... dock diving & shelties are not a good mix, we could drownded you know. We had fun doing relay races with the kids, over jumps and thru tunnels, kids aren't as fast as us though ... Afterwards, it was really hot, so me and the boy decided to have some fun in the water, notice no docks involved ...

I can get it follow me
can't catch me
no way jose, it's all mine
faster Axel, faster, don't let the boy have it
man that's hard work

As you can tell, I'm the swimmer dog, HRH Scout only give directions from the shore ... 
Until next time, 
your Pal ... Axel
PeeS, watch for my agility pics coming soon

    You are so brave - we won't even put a foot in a puddle of water - we would certainly never swim :)

    Phod has that bumper in green!

    Where near Ottawa do you live? We live on the Quebec side in the Gatineau Hills about 30 km north of Ottawa. Lady works in Ottawa and had lived in Ottawa for a long time before she and the Man moved to their dream house in the country.

    Enjoy the river!

      We are 30 Km west on Ontario side. Mom says she knows your area, it is lovely especially in the fall time. You are lucky to live in the country where you run free any time you want
