I took Tal to the lake this afternoon. I swear I don't know who has more fun me or him..lol..Anyway, he swam out and retrieved his ball and when he got on shore he started to play keep away with me..aka Gonna Get You. We were having so much fun when this lady was walking by and saw us. She heared Tal give his play growl. When I got his ball from him I tossed it into the water for him to retrieve andthe lady said she thought he would bite me there for a second.
I was puzzled and then as we talked and I explained that was his play growl and it was his way of communicating he was having fun with me. She didnt know that and said well it did look like we were having fun! So there are still lots of folks out there who will listen and allow themselves to be educated about things.
Then a group of kids was walking along and one of them asked me if the dog was real..not sure where that came from then asked if he was walking on the bottom (the lake only comes up to waist deep on me at the deepest point) and I said nope..he's swimming...they were impressed that Tal was swimming. Kids were maybe 6 or 7 years old...it was a nice fun afternoon.
