Although Kate and I have forced Pecos into lakes, creeks, and ponds before, our frightened fido has never taken to it. Each time we near water, Pecos beams with excitement at the chance to wade in and spatter about. But once he’s up to his chest, absolute panic sets in. Whether it’s the fear of drowning (which only monkeys and humans are supposed to have), the desire to stay dry, or the humiliation at showing off a rusty breast stroke, Pecos goes no further. Well, we’re proud to disclose that on Sunday Pecos went swimming.
Here’s a sketch I made of the event. Those dots are tadpoles (of which there were thousands). The thing in the middle is Pecos. Pecos proud. Big boy. Eat stick and swim in yummy tadpole water.

I think the drawing of Pecos is AWESOME. Very well done and congratulations on owning a swimming dog. Not to boast, but we have two. Soon we will post more pictures of Jackson swimming with great delight in the Atlantic. Unfortunately he is still swallowing too much salty water, and there is a price to pay for that later. Unfortunately both he and I must pay.
On to bigger puddles!!
