Nico was so happy to get some swimming time in today. We really tested him, two roughly 30-minute retrieving sessions about an hour and a half apart. And when I say 30-minutes, that’s not leisurely swimming. Nico doesn’t know how to do anything leisurely. That’s a solid 30 minutes of giving it everything he’s got to retrieve his bumper from as far as I can throw it. When we pull up to the beach he’s off the front of the boat and swimming circles around us before we’re even tied up. There is nothing else that Nico enjoys more than retrieving in the water. How we arrived here will forever be a mystery to me. A few years ago, he was terrified of swimming.
