Those of you who know Dempsey, also know that he has a real phobia about water. He's never paddles, let alone swum - he won't even go through a large puddle.

We took him along the river nene yesterday afternoon, just for a change, and it was really hot. Dempsey got thirsty & had a little drink, then noticed his feet were in the water. Next thing we knew................

and...........

We couldn't believe it - not only did he paddle & play, but he swam as well! It took us 45 minutes to get him out!

Right now, he's spark out on the sofa, sleeping it all off still!

We just stood there & stared at first. Couldn't believe it!

Mind you, he blotted his copybook on the way back cause he wouldn't come back when I called him & he chased a couple of gypsy horses - nearly got kicked by one.

Good for you, Dempsey! Bajas didn't put a paw in the water until he turned 4 I think, then suddenly it was nice and refreshing! Laughing

And so you should be......it's a huge thing for a dog who has not liked water at all.
