Some of you have already meet her, but for those of you who
haven't, this is Char, my beautiful new little "grandaughter".
She was actually a Christmas present from Ron and I to our
son-in-law, Duane. A lot of you have probably meet Duane, as he
usually tries to stop in during most of the swims if he's around.
Without Duane's endless help we would never have gotten Dunkin
Dawgs finished and open. Char lives right next door to Dunkin
Dawgs so "grama" gets too see her quite often. And yes,
she has already been swimming and she's a natural, of course! Isn't
she just the cutest little girl! She's all dressed and ready
for her first swim. Dad gives her a little peep talk and away she
goes! |
This is "ABBY" Abby loves her chicken! And I love
Abby. I know your not supposed to have favorites, but Abby is a
very special girl to me. |
|
 
"MALIK" loves swimming for his bumper
"Come On! Throw the Bumper!" |
 
"DARBY" has his favorite ball he always brings. "OK,
I'll just rest for just a second!" |
|
"BUDDY" is so sweet. Buddy getting a pep
talk! |
 
"RUSTY" can't decide which toy he wants in the
pool, so he puts them all in! |
|
 
This is "CAINE" We had so much fun when he was here swimming.
There wasn't a dry spot in the pool room. Even the ceiling was
wet!
|
 
And this is "IRIS" She was about 8 weeks old here.
She was one pooped puppy when she got out! |
|
"MUTLEY" loved the squeak toys. He was
having some serious fun here. Check out the waves! |
This is "SPORT"
a great Gordon Setter. He has so much personality! We
have a whole lot of fun with him |
|
This is "ZEUS", a wonderful English Mastiff.
He is big and really beautiful. And those legs! After he
figured out what to do with his legs, he did great! We
definitely had some water flying!
|
This is "JED" aka "TUBBY". He is by far
the funniest dog so far! He entertains us the whole time. And he's
even found a way to cheat in the pool! He uses the small
underwater ledge to walk around the pool so he doesn't have to
swim! What a character. I definitely look forward to seeing him. |
|
This is "CALAHAN" a Golden Retriever with a great
smile. He lives near Chicago and was in town visiting grandpa.
Grandpa brought "CALAHAN" for a little fun on his visit.
We had a great time. And boy can he swim!

a lab, whippet, and shepard mix. She loved leaping into the pool
and would chase any thing you threw in. |

a lot of fun. |
This is "AJA" a very sweet Golden Retriever.
This was her first time, ever, swimming and she did great.

have my photographer here ( that would be Ron) so I need to get
pictures of Jude so he can join his sister on the web! |
|

brought his own toys! He was a great swimmer and he played hard.
He is a really
nice guy,

|
This is "NALLA" a Staffordshire Terrier.She
is a very nice girl and can she swim! She love's to chase a tennis
ball. Here she is smiling at Dad and the camera. |
|
There isn't a tennis ball that's safe when NALLA'S here!
She sure loves those tennis balls. |
|
NALLA beat OLLIE to the football. I don't think
I have ever seen a dog yet that swims as fast as NALLA. I can't
get a decent picture of NALLA swimming because she swims so fast
her pictures are all a blur!
|
|
This is "OLLIE", he is "NALLA's"
brother. A Golden Retriever that couldn't wait to get in the
water! He jumped in before we could even get a life jacket on him.
When he jumps in, he does what looks like a huge belly flop in in
the middle of the pool. You can't help but laugh. He's a terrific
dog!
|
This is ZEUS, a very active Chocolate Lab. He is awesome.
And he is just too cute. He's also a terrific swimmer to top it
off! |
|
SPARKY is a Golden Retriever. Look at that beautiful
white face. Isn't he handsome? He was here with his sister, MIKA,
a German Shepard. |

celebrate. MIKA really had fun with a tennis ball and check out
all the splashing.....too much fun!
|
|
ALI, a Black Lab, brought her own audience to show off
for! And she did a great job of it too. Gamma and Uncle Rick
joined in the fun with us. She played so hard, she was
napping on my shoulder in the pool. She is a little lover.....
|
|
ANNIE is a yellow Lab that came all the way from Freeport,

slept all the way home!

great swimmer and he has the most beautiful eyes! I really enjoyed
swimming with him. |

ROCKY & APPOLO are Golden Retriever that are
brothers. We had a whole lot of fun and I think we wore them both
out! |
This is "TORI" a Black Lab that had more fun than any
dog I've seen so far. What a riot. You should see her swim ....We
had soooo much fun! I can't wait till she comes back.
I haven't laughed that much in a long time. |
|

labradoodle that came all the way from Chicago for a swim. He is
gorgeous! And, he just got married. The wedding was beautiful as
was the bride. Congratulations to the newly weds. They make a
beautiful couple. |

but you would swear she was two. She played nonstop! We had a lot

on. |

brother. He is the nicest miniature schnauzer. Isn't he just
tooooo cute! |
|
This is CHARLIE. He is a black lab that was rescued from the
Humane Society and he is just great. He is such a good boy!
He must have been a swimmer at one time because he really
did great in the pool! He got in and took right off!
|
|
This is DETAIL. He lives in Indiana and was visiting in
Wisconsin. He wasn't really sure at first but then we found a toy
he liked and he decided it really was fun.
|
This is CHANCE and SHILO. They are brothers and they are the
best dogs. CHANCE does dock diving and is just a great swimmer.
This was SHILO's first time here and as you can see he was
loving it. They were swimming against high current the whole time
they were here. It's a riot just watching these two.
I do believe they were pretty tired boys when they left! |
|
This is Alpha, she is a very unique breed. This breed comes
from the UKC and their are only about 100 in the US. I have to
double check with her mom on the breed name. It's something like
Basett Fauve. I'm pretty sure I slaughtered that:) Anyway, she was
here with her sister Daizy. Alpha just comes along for the ride!
Isn't she really cute!
|
|
This is Daizy. Daizy is a Dachsund, Chihuahua mix. She is
just adorable! She is an agility dog and can this little girl
swim. I would love to she her at an agility trial. She's got those
little short legs and came she go!

little extra encouragement, but she did great. She is a very
sweet, beautiful girl, and is she smart.
|
This is Buster, a yellow lab, that comes from Rockford to
swim with us. Buster is 7 years old but you would think he was
just a kid to see him. He is as sweet as he is gorgeous! |
|
This
is Chester, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Chester used to be an avid
swimmer in his younger days. Although his health is failing him,
Chester still had a spark in his eye's when he seen the water. He
brought his water toy and was ready to swim. He did wonderful. You
will never meet a sweeter dog. I truly enjoyed swimming with him.
He definitely touched my heart!

sweetest dog you ever meet. Look at those eyes! She loves to chase
tennis balls and will swim till she drops. Hollie was adopted from
the Lab rescue and she now has a wonderful new home here in
Janesville. |
|
 
This is Willie, an Australian Cattle dog. Wille wasn't too
sure about this swimming thing, but after some encouragement and a
little help from Mom he seemed to be more relaxed. I thought
Willie did really good! |
Dixie is a real sweetheart. She really enjoyed the warm
water and swimming. For an older girl she could really move along.
She loved chasing all the toys we would throw for her! This
girl is gonna sleep good. |
|
This is Charlie. He is just a young kid with a ton of
energy. He wasn't too keen on the swimming at first, but with a
little encouragement he did just great. Charlie is quite the
character! He's a busy little boy and so darn cute |
This is Bailey. She is a great swimmer. She brought her own
toy and was ready for some fun. Here she is taking a break while
her brother Bear was doing a few laps! They both had a lot of fun. |
|
Bear, Baileys brother, takes advantage of of the ledge for a
quick break. They both played hard and I'm sure were pretty tired
when they left. I'm really looking forward to seeing them again. |
|
|
|
This is Bear the Giant Schnauzer. Bear is still just a
puppy, she's about 4 mos old. She is so cute and has the longest
legs. She also has a ton of energy and she's a terrific swimmer.
She's one gorgeous little girl. |
|
This is Bingo. He is a rescued Golden Retrieve. Bingo took a
little time getting used to the pool but when he finally caught on
he was non-stop. He is a tennis ball chasing machine! I'm wore out
just watching him. This guy knows how to have some serious fun in
the pool. |
This is Molly, the Rottweiler, and Rana, the Boxer.
They also brought their other sister, Cheli, another Rottweiler.
All three girls were in the pool together. Rana was just so cute.
She just kept doing laps. She was having fun all by herself just
swimming laps. Molly and Cheli were chasing tennis balls. They
would race to see who would get the ball first. I had a great time
with the "girls". They were a lot of fun and all so
sweet! |
|
This is Quintin, a beautiful, sweet, Pressa Canary. I had
never seen the breed before and when he walked walked in I was a
bit intimidated. But then I meet him and he is so gentle and so
sweet. He has a sister that is just as big and gorgeous as Quintin.
I really love working with him, although swimming isn't high on
his list of favorite things to do, which you can definitely tell
by the look on his face! |

Copper and Chance are having a great time retrieving. This
was Copper's first swim, so Chance was showing him the ropes. |
|
Kody brought along his own duck to retrieve. It didn't take
long to see this guy is well trained and a terrific retriever. And
he loved every minute of it! |
Oscar is the cutest boxer and he has such a neat
personality. He wasn't real sure at first about this swimming
stuff, but, I think he did really good. With a little more
practice he will think he's a lab. |
|
Traxx is a Black Lab mix and the coolest dog around. He used
to live on an island and can he swim. The life jacket was definitely
holding this guy back. He is 10 years young and in terrific shape.
He had everyone soaked and we all had a great time! |
|
This is Sadie a beautiful Chocolate
Lab, Cheasapeak Bay Retriever mix. Sadie lives in Oshkosh
and comes here swimming once a week. She is a terrific retriever
and just a sweetheart. She has those wonderful lab eyes and tons
of expressions!

This is Boo, a very handsome fellow with the greatest
personality. I've known Boo for a while and I just love him. He's
a very sweet guy and is just as cuddly as a teddy bear. |
Zoe is a Corgi, Chihuahua mix, and is she too cute. She is
only 4 lbs. and the smallest life jacket was too big. But boy
could this girl swim. She had no fear at all and just cruised to
the end of the pool. She's still to short to climb out by herself
and of course that belly didn't help matters, but she is a doll.
I can't wait to see what she looks like all grown up! |
|
This is the "Corgi Crew" Here is Whisper and
Jax. Jax is the one that sinks so we have to keep a close eye on
him :-) And then there is Rocket, he can
really move when he wants to. There is five dogs total that
come swimming together. Let me tell you, it is quite the adventure
with this bunch. They know how to have some fun! |
This is Sophie. She is the little sweetheart!
Bravo come along for the fun too! |
|
Lilly is a Black Lab with a ton of energy. She's like the
energerizer bunny. She just kept going and going! |
Isn't Rusty the most gorgeous Golden Retriever in the world?
Just look at that face. He's 12 yrs. old and you should have seen
him keeping up to his brother, BO and his sister, who are only 1
year old. All three were swimming together and we had a great
time. I really enjoyed these guys! |
