I have some frozen liver for rewards if you wanna try doggie in the pool swim training. or we could just let them enjoy each other. Sounds like fun just to have you two over...

You're on! He's having a cyst removed next week, so no swimming for a while, but I'll take you up on it! he looooooooves to swim, but is used to gradual beach. Maybe they can learn together.
