it gave some measure of encouragement to the more skittish.

Kind of like life in general.

Peace to you, Rhiannon.

I've been to Dog Beach in Southern California, saw all sorts of dogs. The labs were having a great time body surfing for frisbees while the bulldog I saw was happily sitting on the beach and the Yorkie was covered with sand and looked miserable.

I've had cockers and they're fine with the water, but little Jack prefers riding on a boat...

We couldn't keep our Lab out of water!

When, as a puppy, she first saw me taking a bath, in she hopped in a blink. The only doggie we've ever had that when the question "do you wanna take a bath?" was proposed, it was greeted by smiles, enthusiastic tail tags, & a beeline dash to the bathroom. She'd be in the tub before I got there.
