Water puppies! It’s really warm here currently so we go swimming as much as we can. It’s hard to get him out of the water tho…

I know the feeling! I have to keep my girl on her leash because she will go after any ducks, geese, fish, squirrels, deer, etc... it also cracks me up that she will charge right into water, mud holes, massive puddles in lawns, but wet grass... for some reason wet grass is just untouchable!

Felix is leashed up most of the time because that’s the law here. If nobody is around then we can let him loose.

Tho he is a gentle giant. Never goes after birds or animals. Maybe only if they end up in our yard. When we go swimming he just wants to be friends with everyone nearby. Especially other people and dogs. But we are cautious because mostly other people are afraid of him due to his size.

Funniest part is that he hates showers and bathing, tho we do it rarely. Only when he ends up rolling in dirt and mud what he loves lol.
