Last month I posted pics of Ben & Rufus in the snow, now in complete contrast it's t-shirt weather here 8) .Gotta love the British weather!
So I thought it was about time to get Rufus used to going into the sea instead of just barking at it for having the barefaced cheek to be wet!
The plan was to get Ben in the sea long enough for Rufus to become curious enough to go find out what he's up to.
He paced up and down the water's edge
poked around at the water a bit
even had a bit of a paddle
all the while grumbling to himself in frustration.
The clincher came courtesy of Ben who swam over to some rocks cut off from the shore by a few metres of deeper water
where he proceeded to sniff around and look thoroughly pleased to be there.
Rufus, infuriated and envious beyond belief, gave out several petulant barks and strode into the water
but when the ground underneath him disappeared he beat a hasty retreat
After that he was at least brave enough to wade rather than paddle, which is progress in my book .
