All Tuckered Out From Swimming
Otis stayed with my parents last weekend and had many adventures while he was there. My parents have a pool and with his being blind, it made me nervous he was going to fall in. He doesn’t float well and just sinks like a stone. So, to alleviate my fears, my parents went out and bought Otis his very own yellow swim vest. Apparently the first one was too tiny and they had to go back for another. This one doesn’t zip up all the way because Otis doesn’t really have a neck (it’s all one straight line from his head to his shoulders), so as my cousin pointed out on Facebook, his yellowness and semi-zipped look makes him appear like a banana.
A swimming, floating banana – that barks.
He loved being able to swim and the vest helped keep him cool. What’s awesome is when he’s done and doesn’t feel like swimming anymore, he just barks to notify anyone in the pool he’s done. After that, just grab his handles and up and out he goes! Easy peezie.
Swimming is a lot more activity than he usually gets, so he was completely ZONKED when I came to pick him up and for the rest of the night. Whattabum.

What a beautiful shot!!! You really captured the moment…….
Thanks Chrissie! Can you believe I took this with my iPhone? Makes it so convenient to have a good camera on hand all the time.
OMG Otis is too cute in his vest and tuckered out on the couch! I’m glad he’ll be safe now 🙂
Thanks so much! He’s a pretty amazing dog in general. Have you ever read my post about how he disappeared for 4 yrs? We are lucky to have him.

Otis is absolutely precious. That last pic of him sprawled on the couch? Priceless.
