It's officially Summer again in Florida. Dexter makes it a daily habit of nagging me to let him out in the pool. I loved this picture of him mid-shaking off.

Dexter is a tri-color Border Collie. In case you were wondering!

Please ask me before using my art. I'd appreciate it!

I love the stillness yet at the same time the wonderful movement and flow throughout this piece

kinda wish I had a pool all on my own lol. Great piece that you truly captured

Thanks!

It's really nice having a pool. Kind of a necessity in Florida! WAY too hot all the time.

Haha, lucky you to have both a pool and and an adorable dog! I never did go swimming with my dog when I had her, so I have no idea how she might have reacted, but it's entirely obvious from the photos and video you've shared in the past that Dexter adores the water. Being a border collie as well, I would imagine he would have enough steam to be able to keep going all day long if you'd let him.

Very cute photo, in any case dear, thank you for sharing!

*Kateasaur May 29, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Why thank you!

He does indeed love the water. He actually learned to swim all by himself when his toy fell in the pool one day. Hasn't gone a day without swimming since! If your dog was anything like my parent's dog, she probably would have freaked out just like he does when he goes near water. Silly little thing, he is. Gotta love animals, though!

My dog was a little Jack Russell terrier, and a very feisty one at that so I'd like to think she would have been brave and enjoyed the water, but of course it's hard to say (after all I remember she once, somehow, got a slug stuck to her back leg and shut down completely, trembling and refusing to move until I picked it off! Silly dog). And hah, I suppose Dexter would have taught himself to swim... I know Border Collies are the most intelligent dog breed there is, and I have to wonder if I'd ever even be able to handle one myself!

Oh, and you're quite welcome of course!

Action shot! Quite adorable. The few times I went swimming with my pup, she tended to see me as something convenient to stand on while out in the lake. Since she's about Dexter's size, I didn't entirely appreciate it, but the things we do for love...

*Kateasaur May 28, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Thank you

My parent's dog does that. Although he's a little yippy dog, so he doesn't weigh too much. If you lay on a raft in the pool, he treats you like you're his personal boat. Dogs, I tell ya

Such a great photo!

*Kateasaur May 28, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Thanks!

*CaineScroll May 28, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Honestly, I can never get enough of Dexter and that pool in one picture. Nice shot!
