Clive is going on his first camping trip this weekend. We’re headed to Truman Lake near Lake of the Ozarks for a weekend with the family. Since we haven’t seen him swim yet, we’re erring on the side of caution and making him wear a life jacket we picked up from our favorite pet haven Lizzi & Rocco’s. While we were snapping pics, Felix got curious and decided to check out his brother’s new wares. It took two months, but Felix is finally starting to warm up to Clive.
My dog also wears a Float Coat (as we like to call it). He’s an excellent swimmer, but he’ll swim literally until the point of exhaustion and then he’ll get scared and try to climb on us in the lake. 108 pound dog on your back = not comfortable! In his float coat, he’s much more relaxed and can swim until he falls asleep without fear of sinking.
Your dog is adorable, by the way! Yay for pups!
I can just imagine the pups asleep in their jackets in the water. I think Clive would do that too though, swim to the point of exhaustion and then start to panic. We’ll see how he does!
