On the way to Mindy's house to party with the nephew and pick up some horses, we stopped in Vantage.
Mindy and I consider it and Ellensburgh the "halfway" points. Vantage is where the dogs get out to stretch their legs, use the rest room, and sniff...and sniff....and sniff some more.
They were just being themselves when Kage spotted a log in the water...
He decided it would be a good thing to retrieve and possibly have Chad toss back in.
As he thinks Chad should heave all things large for him.
After initial inspection, the girls told him he was nuts...
So he looked to me for help.
I told him, dude I'm with the others. You. Are. Nuts.
He worked on it for quite some time. He went from being able to stand and mess with it, to swimming after it. He did a pretty impressive log roll a couple of times, but those pictures didn't turn out...
Bummer.
He then tried a new avenue for getting the log.
That didn't pan out. Soooo, he circled up and went to the bank that was closest to the long and hopped into the water again.
It was about 40 outside and much colder in the water. So we finally MADE him admit defeat and get out of the water. He wasn't happy and got scolded a few times for trying to sneak back to the log.
Of course we didn't have a way to dry the dog, so he got into the truck soak and wet. He shivered and whined...we turned up the heat and waited for him to settle in and take a nap...
And of course smelled the sweet smell of wet dog the rest of the way to Mindy's.
Next time, I will pack a towel for the mutt...but who would have thought he would have went for a swim?
It certainly wasn't on our agenda!! (0;
He'll definitely NEVER be a "Dock Dog", but he will forever remain my Dork Dog!! (0:

POOR GUY he was tryen to work and well you spoiled his fun! Chad should have found a rope and brought it along! Soon to be spring so next stop at vantage,,,,, bring your trunks chad!!
Vantage is one of my points of significance when I travel that way too. But where are you stopping that there is water like that??
He is very determined to get that log. Very cute if it wasn't so cold and the rest of the trip to travel with the wet dog. I commiserate with you on that.
