Nico is drying off in the sun after long fetching in the water. He fetched for about 30 minutes straight. Based on a rough estimate of how far I can throw his Ruffwear Lunker and the number of fetches he did, he swam close to a mile. He would have been ready for more after a break, but we lounged on the boat instead.
