..and we thought Gus was our water dog...

Now that we have a pond...Jake..who used to be terrified of water..has learned to deal with it...and to be honest I think he really enjoys it!  We were throwing the ball today in the yard....one of our evening rituals that occupies the dogs and the girls.  Mommy let the dogs cool off in the pond..so Daddy decided he would throw the ball for them in the water some.  Gus had a TON of fun...as usual.  Drank so much water with his multiple retrieves..ended up losing his dinner!  (Another typical move!)  So we made Gus rest and let Jake have some nice friendly tosses....enjoy the pics and videos!! (Remember..this dog hates when his beard is wet!)

Playing together...but lil' brother (Gus) seems to always win out..

Attentive and both waiting on Dadd to throw it AGAIN!

Oh my gosh..I am so excited!!  Throw it already!!!

Patiently waiting again.....

=I hate when my beard is wet.....notice the leaves from rubbing it on the ground

(Leaves on the ground..is that a sign of fall? Where are the cooler temps?)

Here are a video for you to laugh and enjoy!  You can hear Gus panting in the background and Jake's paws as he high-steps.  Poor lil' guy..not the best swimmer..but don't tell him that!
