Saguaro Lake

A couple weeks ago, Joe, Jake and I went to Saguaro Lake for a short day-trip. Jake brought his lab mix, Lilly, and we brought our Dobermans, Max and Sadie. We took an offroad trail and saw great scenery. Joe and Jake also enjoyed the four wheeling. Myself and the pups were a little less enthused :)

After the four wheeling we took a short hike around Saguaro Lake and let the puppies swim. Max loves the water, but this picture shows that he didn't quite having swimming down, at least not in his new, giant body. He swam with his paws out of the water like he was trying to walk on it.

Eventually, he got it. Here he is with Lilly, who won the catch the ball game every time.

Because of this, Max decided to focus his attention on getting Lilly, and not the ball.

Lastly, here is a video of all of the dogs swimming. Lilly is obviously the most experienced and graceful of the three. This is a great example of Max trying to walk on water instead of swimming in it. And poor Sadie, who we now realize has probably never swum before in her life. She attempted to swim, but was more successful at semi-drowning. Better luck next time :
