Skipper and Baxter

What is this?  Dogs upstaging the kitties again?  Yes they are because the cats don't go to the beach and dogs so. 

My friend's dog, Skipper, the cocker spaniel,  was coming in from a swim and my daughter's  Boston terrier, Baxter, was looking on in awe.  Baxter swam too but only when necessary.  Skipper loves the water.

Spaniels seem to have a gene for splashing about in puddles.
Mary MacADNski: Yes, spaniels are water dogs. Skipper spent half the day in there.

In my experience Mary dogs just LOVE the sea
Mary MacADNski: Some do and others do not - just like people. Baxter doesn't really like it but went in once spontaneously. Skipper spent half the day in the water.

Lovely fun shot Mary
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Aussie.
I love to see dogs playing in the sea, as long as the salt water is thoroughly washed off later!
Mary MacADNski: I'm not sure my daughter has done the rinsing part. I gave him a bath last week when I was dog sitting and he rolled in something very, very smelly.
My daughters Bulldogs love the sea even if it does come well up the sides of them being short legged etc.
Mary MacADNski: Baxter was just like me - in when he had to.

My girl hates the water Mary, all dogs are different just like us humans smile
Mary MacADNski: That's what I say. My old sheepdog/terrier did not like water and who could blame her. All that ling wirey hair and no conditioner in the sea or rivers.
Ahhh.. Mary.. not the same without the cats! Baxter is looking quite envious!
Mary MacADNski: Skipper is "whole". I think that impressed him as well as the awesome swimming.
Funny ! Most of dogs loves water swimming !
Mary MacADNski: Some do, some don't. My sheepdog/terrier did not either.
