Ralph's first swim

We decided to take the dogs to the meadows today, We haven't been all winter and therefore have never taken Ralph. He may have been there before we got him of course but I'm not sure on that.
It was thrilling to watch his excitement about a different large space to run around and he and Pepper were racing around in circles - they looked like they had a sugar rush from 10 lollipops! Pepper loves the water and she was jumping in and out, Ralph was watching her from the side.
We weren't going to encourage him in, as he is very short and would not be able to touch the riverbed, but after a few minutes of watching Pepper have so much wet fun, he jumped in and had a little swim of his own, to the squeals of 'good boy'!
Now he is fast asleep, exhausted from his new experience, and I'm looking forward to long summer walks by the river.
