NEWS FLASH!

“Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you're doing and listen. Cannonball!”
Maybe we just love Anchorman more than anything in the world Ron, but it is a fantastic movie. There is a scene about a squirrel that can water ski, so in honor of the Channel 4 News Team we experimented to see if poodles can float. Lizzie is an able swimmer at home in the pool. After crossing the Rio Grande, AJ has developed a fear of water, and took some time to get used to swimming. He enjoys riding on the boogie board, particularly before we got him groomed and he needed to cool off. The pictures you see are the result of several pool attempts.We even bought AJ a life jacket in case we are ever out in a boat with him. Lizzie, for all her faults, has braved the frigid waters of Lake Superior and is actually better than AJ at something other than begging. I swear she could be a circus dog. I saw her clear a 2 foot bag to get a bone today.
