And I have to be careful to only throw the ball half way or a bit less. Any further and Murphy could decide that the far shore is closer and more convenient and it's be a ten-minute drive for me to go down to the closest bridge and back-track to any exit point over there.
And yes, he's that smart. Gotta watch this dog every minute.
Mmmmmm.... the smell of wet dog!
ReplyDeleteBe careful. The St. Bernard we had on the farm when I was a kid started going swimming on her own once she learned where the swimming hole was. On hot summer days she'd disappear for a few hours and show up again soaking wet. The bits of milfoil in her fur were a dead giveaway as to where she'd been.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great way to tire the dog out - but how long did he stay tired, and how soon was he asking for another round?
