    I took my daughter and her friends (and the B of course) down to Utah lake. The water was soo warm! Still, I'd never seen a B that liked water - but after my daughter pulled away from the shore, there she went into the water to try to get to them. So later I took her out on the boat with my daughter holding on to her and she loved it! The next week we went camping and as I pulled away from the shore in the canoe, Samantha started wading into the water (this was a mountain lake at 9000ft - so the water was a bit cold!), then started swimming towards the canoe. She got out about 6' from shore and decided that this swimming stuff was not for her - she turned around and swam back. Here's a picture of her standing in the lake.

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    <<it is="" a="" very="" valuable="" asset="" to="" have="" dog="" that="" will="" crate="" when="" it="" necessary.="">> I totally agree. It is so important that they don't flip out should they need to be crated at the vet, hotel or kennel, or in an evacuation emergency. I can think of a hundred instances where crates are important.</it>

    Too funny Miche! Jonas and Jesus sound kind of similar! Perhaps Jonas was a little confused! ;) Oh, and maybe he just wanted to make sure the baby Jesus was clean and well groomed (hence the water bowl baths) like a proper b! :p Sharron - That's too funny! The look on a non-barking dog's face when they hear the bark of another is PRICELESS! It also sounds like your little girl has learned how to work her feminine wiles to the fullest! :p Oh, and my Mom's b barks, too - especially at things that are out of place in the house or things she finds "threatening" like the shop vac! :rolleyes:
