Babysitting Shiner

A cute picture of the "dry" Shiner :o)

Shiner has stayed with us a couple times over the last few weeks and he has acquired a huge love for the pool. He frolics in the pool the way we hoped our dogs would and barks at his own splashes :) The funny thing about Shiner is that he only wants to swim when you are outside watching him. Sooooo every time you leave Shiner outside to let him swim, he ends up sitting near the back door wanting to come inside or awaiting spectators. Then you feel badly for Shiner..........so you go outside to dry him off with a towel planning on bringing him inside, BUT that is just about the time that Shiner decides he would like to go for another dive in the pool. It is a hilarious, yet frustrating never ending process. Ultimately Ryan and I learned when we want to bring Shiner inside from swimming, we have to put a leash on him during the drying process so he will stay out of the pool.
