Well, here's the NEW problem, finding a dog friendly LAKE in which to take them for a spin. I haven't tried them on them yet either. I want to associate getting them on with actual swimming -- which I know they'll love.
Yesterday, we took a hike to a place called "Hidden Lake" --- suggested to me by another dog person -- but clearly she didn't take in to account that EBs are NOT athletic hikers! That terrain was Labrador Material! We all three made it to the creek, had a nice cool dip and a drink -- but no real swimming. :-( Monday (I don't work Mondays) the weather is heating up again and we WILL find a lake and we WILL take pictures and they WILL go swimmin' for REALS!!! LOL
