Scarlet just loves the water. It was 55 degrees outside today and very cloudy, but I thougth i would try taking her to the lake and seeing how long she would last before wanting to dry out...I learned the answer....she could care less about getting dry. She wants to stay wet and would still be swimming if I hadn't gotten cold and wet myself! It is so terrific to see her having so much fun! She gets to shore and begs for me to throw the toy again. She must have made 50 trips in and out to retrieve the plastic dummy. I love this dog!
So, this is a picture of the two of them. Tyler is our 9 year old yellow Lab and Scarlet is our 8 month old Newf. Tyler didn't particularly like having a new sister when she first arrived, but he has gotten used to not being the only dog again and tolerates her wanting to play all the time. He doesn't have near the energy he did a few years ago and there were times when we thought we made a mistake by bringing a puppy into the family at this point, but things have worked out. Scarlet likes to play with him and that includes biting him in the neck. I guess it is a dominace thing...he would rather roll around on the floor with her...It's cute to see the two of them together. We are blessed to have both of them in our lives!
