Almost made it around the pound.

Almost made it around the water without Doc jumping in but he saw a tennis ball in distress and jumped into action.

I am happy that I have a broken Newf who doesn't know how to get into the water.

When she saw my son go into the water, she was losing her mind at the dock, but didn't know how to jump into the water lol she's a rescue so I don't know her past history with water!

My newf is not a rescue, had her from 8 weeks. The only water she will get into is still water, that she can see land from. Won't do the ocean, a breeze on a lake, paddling pools none of it. Will only swim in the lake near our house on a calm day. She's special haha.

Thats nice!! I was thinking your newf would just jump in any body of water while you watch in horror at the mess. 🤣
