So our Luna Tuna (as we like to call her) is growing up super fast. Hard to believe that we’ve only had her for about 7 months, and that she’s already so grown-up looking. I used to carry her our for piddles at 3 a.m. when she was only 15 lbs! Now she’s pushing 85 lbs!

At about 6 months old we had her at the cottage and decided it was time for her to learn to swim. Since her genetics are most certainly Lab dominated, we figured this would be pretty straight forward stuff. And it was. But it’s still fun to watch video of her getting her webbed feet wet for the first time.

Now we can hardly keep her out of the water of course. She can swim really far out to get her Frisbee, and she’s getting better at picking a ball up out of the water but that is much, much harder. We’ve tried teaching her to jump off the dock at the Coby Cottage and she did it once or twice before deciding she isn’t a fan of sinking under the water completely. I don’t think she likes getting earfuls of water.

Special thanks to her buddy Lola for helping show her the ropes!
