The Criminal Element - At The Lake

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with New Paradigm Partners LLC EB #1326335

I took the guys down to the lake this afternoon to go swimming. It's like only their favorite thing in the whole world, but then Lulu and Grover are Labs. Notice that I'm not calling them Labrador Retrievers - if you watch the video, you'll understand - this is definitely not textbook retrieving, it's more like toddlers splashing around in the tub. And then there's Mario. He loves the shore, but ain't going in the water...voluntarily.

 

 

They do get tired of fooling around eventually and then they bring me the balls to throw, and we go through the whole thing again. And again. And again. I have no idea what their limits are - I'm always the one who says enough. Anyhow, we all had a great time, and now we're all going to take a nap.

Mario looks like he's supervising.  So cute.  And I love that you can see Grover's tail wagging IN the water.

My doggie was so jealous. She wanted to get in on the action.

Yeah, Dick, they are Labs!  Labs who like to have fun ... not work retrieving things!  I imagine they do have limits ... limits they don't even know they have.  I just love watching big dogs play. Little dogs just are not entertaining for me.  Thank you, Lulu and Grover for the Labra-day fun. My heart goes out to Mario who may be missing out on some great fun.

Mario on the shore cracks me up!

I understand the dogs needing a nap, but didn't you just throw the ball????  Only kidding, I totally understand the need for a nap.  LOL.

Dick,

Ron and I have always wondered who owns whom when one has pets.  We call ourselves door valets, butlers, chauffeurs, and personal assistants.  We all love it, and the video is adorable.  I have decided that Mario is the director, and likes to shout out directions...A

LMAO I literally started cracking up right from the beginning. Seeing the black lab turn around swimming like "am I doing the right thing" made me laugh.

Nice

What an absolutely adorable video! My brother has a Labradoodle, and I'm EXHAUSTED when we visit because she's never satisfied, no matter how many times I throw the ball. Beautiful animals you have. Glad your day was relaxing.

Don't smack me, but I'm not an animal lover.  I must say, I love your posts about Lulu, Grover and Mario and any other family members you post about.  Such a fun video.

What a fun video Dick. The acoustic guitar picking really goes along with this Dogie Paddle.

I loved watching Lulu and Grover.  After raising two Labs, I can identify with their joy of being in the water!

Dick, I laughed and laughed and laughed.  Wow, what fun.  Poor Mario...."What are you guys doing?"  And the boys just splashing and splashing.  You have quite a crew!

Hahaha. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your labs play in the big old tub. ;) Mac will retrieve sticks, but not balls. Go figure. 

By the way, you live in nirvana for dogs. Mac is envious...

Boy, those guys will really keep you hopping, Dick.  They were all hilarious.  But, the Labs were just like kids in a tub!

Looks like they are having a great time! My dog is part lab but will have nothing to do with swimming.
