The great explorer............ she thought she could walk on water.................nope

She is so darn full of adventure, energy, never stops moving.

Hanging over the edge of the waterfall rock

Ahh the heart of a young explorer. " I shall go forth and bring back the wealth of the world" Not...!!!

Ha Ha that was cute! Did she get out or did you have to rescue her? Maybe she found out she likes it in there...........oh boy look out if she does :cheerful:

 

[addy1]

She was totally shocked, tried to climb up on one of the plant pots. I rescued her, but was not ummmmmmmmmm dressed appropriately for an internet video, so cut that part out.

She was down by the big pond, on a leash, I was feeding the fish, next thing I know she is walking down the stream waterfall rocks trying to get to the fish. She is never unleashed when we are out in the yard, too quick, too small.

She is young and wants to know about every little tiny thing. She knows what fish are cuz she sees them in your aquarium under your tv and these ones outside she thinks she should try to get them also. I know she has been in the ocean running through the water but has she ever swam? Seems like she really likes the water. She is a little stinker and keeps you always on your toes!

 

[addy1]

She did swim in the ocean, not voluntarily, sort of caught by a wave, but did just fine. She even ran into the water a few times, not deep

 

[j.w]

Yep sounds like she will be in the water if it is around her. Next she will be diving into your big pond and you will have to pull her out by her leash. She will see all those fish in there and won't be able to resist it!

Bad little Missy! You will have to keep many eyes on her for a while. I remember my big puppies when they were young, they were very bad monsters, swimming in the ponds and dragging the plants out!! I gave up and built a fence....

I have to worry about the little Boston Terrier puppies. They will be 6 weeks on Sat., and when I get them out morning and evening, I am afraid to take my eyes off of them, even to go to the other side of the pond to feed the fish. I make sure I can see each of the 3 of them at all times. My ponds are raised edges on the outside, but if they got up on the edge, which would be easy, they could easily fall into the pond. Neighbor kid said, "Do you think they could swim?" I said yes, but not forever! They would not be able to get themselves out, they are too little. I wonder how much each of them weighs. They are going for their vet check tomorrow so I will ask them to weigh them then! At least one is going to new home on Sat., unless the guy drives 4 hours one way and doesn't like him. I've sent enough pics that I'm positive they will love him! Then, tonight I think I have a guy interested in the female. The other male is staying an extra month, his new owners are buying a condo, and can't move until weekend of Oct. 11 or something like that. I will get to keep him and spoil him and start his potty training and crate training, and then let him go to his new home. What fun!

Are the little Boston Terrors good swimmers? Do they have webbed feet? My big bad doggy's have webbed feet and that makes them natural swimmers....

My little yorkie can swim, but not for long like water dogs. In arizona late hubby and I had a pool, we trained the yorkies to be able to fall into the pool and go for the steps where we stacked red concrete blocks (so they could find the steps) They totally panic when they fall in trying to climb out around the edge of the pool which they can't do, they would drown.

This little one is never unleashed, I would love to let her just run, but too small, too fast, too much to chase. So she gets to walk with me every morning, around 3-4 miles. The 3-4 yard walks during the day. (3 acres of walking lol)

Well she has to be kept safe, and at that age they are way to curious too. She will grow out of that curious stage and then maybe she will be fine around pond. I am sure she gets lots of room to run around house, and when they are so small you need to be very protective. I would be keeping her on a leash too, too many dangerous things for such a small puppies to get into.....

 

[addy1]

She thinks she is a BIG dog, we have hawks that are bigger than her. Red fox, owls, even the ground hog is dangerous for her.

She found her favorite place to ride/sleep while we are driving. Across my neck. The click of the camera would wake her up

 

[callingcolleen1]

OMG! She is so adorable!!

 

[addy1]

Her back is getting more and more spotted as she grows up, honey says we should have called her spot!
They really show up when I clip her. Just groomed her post surgery, had some mats, still has her naked belly and front legs from them clipping her.
