Roddy learns to swim
I know he's not strictly a labrador (we refer to him as a labracor), but by nature I believe he qualifies, so in preparation of a new Roddy adventure currently being worked on, I'd like to share a lovely moment from earlier this year.
As I said in previous thread, the 1st time we took Roddy to the loch he jumped in out of his depth and got a real fright After this he was a bit scared to go in the water and even Buster the big woos who loves water but wont swim couldn't tempt him in.
Late May, we headed off to the loch again. It was a lovely sunny day.
Buster went straight into the water up to his oxters as usual. Roddy was nervous and stayed by the edge, just dipping his toes in the water
Buster was wading out for sticks then suddenly he just started to swim It was a very proud moment for us and took us by surprise, but not as much as what happened next.................
......................wait for me............................
c'mon Roddy nearly there...
...and then they swam.....
...and swam....
...and then went home to celebrate with a spot of rough and tumble in the garden

My mum adopted Roddy so she gets all the credit for his condition. We just dognap him from time to time cos he is the loveliest natured and happy wee man and he and Buster get on really well. One of these days we might just forget to return him lol (sorry mum, don't mean it)
Aileen, the loch is Loch Leven, Perth & Kinross. It's very close to where my mum stays and the dogs love it.

Hey Roddy formally Rodney...yes thats our boy from LAW. He is a minitature labrador. New breed from Ireland!!!!! Very handy size...not too big .
Delighted to see you Roddy, looks like life is good and I am soooo proud of your swimming. Well done young man. You are just the most georgeous boy and I just loved cuddling you when you were here.
Considering what a narrow escape you had its wonderful to see you so happy in your forever home. Kisses and more cuddles from Ann & I.
You are so scrummy and Buster looks so nice too.

You are going to love this....Roddy came from LAW to Glenys and I looked after him, my second name is Quirke so I guess he really is a quirkey boy.Gemma T wrote:Oh it's lovely to Roddy again - what a sweetie he is!!! Looks very happy in his new (ish) home!! Course he counts as a lab - just a quirky one!!!
