He seems to be a good swimmer, but he does not seem to be too fond of the water. So I was wondering if anyone out there was able to get their Basset to enjoy at least Wading in the water. Colonel will not step foot in the Bathroom even with Steak and Prime Rib and no water in the tub, he will sit at the door but will not walk thought it at all. I don't mind picking up a 50 pound Basset / Dachshund, but my back does, plus then having him tying to get out and water all over is a bit of a pain. Anyway I am hopping that he might at-least enjoy wading as the weather in New England turn hots! I know this is his first summer in the northeast, I know he hates the Heat, it reached close to 80 the other day and he is not himself. As I cut the grass this weekend, I found the Colonel under my 2007 Ford Escape. He crawled under the truck to be outside with me but stay cool. I felt bad, I am hoping to find a way to keep him cool. I know I am a pool junky, I love to be in the pool, He like to be everywhere with me. how do we get him to at least be near the water. I have included a picture of him and his life jacket. Although use caution there is a chubby life guard in the pool with Colonel. We always welcome new friends. </span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center; "><font face="Lucida Grande" size="3" style="font: 11.0px Lucida Grande"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2027884&id=1013478155&l=d5359c04aa">http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2027884&id=1013478155&l=d5359c04aa</a></font></div><div style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Lucida Grande'" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br></span></font></div><div style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Lucida Grande'" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br></span></font></div><div style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Lucida Grande'" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">Drool to all in Need. </span></font></div><div style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Lucida Grande'" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">George</span></font></div>
