Cali, the Rat Terrier, takes her first swim... sort of.

[rrpostalagain]

I've had my Rat in a pool once and he wasn't happy. He has gotten to where I wash him in a full tub and he's OK with it, but I don't get much chance to let him swim. Every year our public pool lets dogs swim for the last day before they close and clean for the season. I wish I could take him to that. I'll try to get him to a lake this year but I'm not swimming in it and he doesn't come when we fly to the beach each summer.

I don't know what's funnier, the dog or your ass crack showing! Great vid. I'll be taking my Rat swimming in a week.

Our rat terrier hates water. Doesn't even like to get her feet wet.

Ours USED to hate the water, until we took her for a boat ride with us fishing. Once she learned fish live in the water, her fear of water disappeared, and she dove in after fish that we were reeling in!

We have 2 chocolate labs and a golden retriever, who accidentally knocked our rat terrier into the water when they were running for the pond. Speck, the Ratty, was NOT happy and sat and pouted, literally pouted, for over an hour afterward.
