Lily swims in the Tama River wearing a life jacket (2005/07/20)
This life jacket doesn't look too restrictive, and it has a nice, natural fit, doesn't it
Located in KichijojiStreet Pocket 51I bought it at
Lily did the doggy paddle for the first time in water where her feet couldn't touch the bottom.
She still won't swim on her own unless I get in with her and pull on the leash.
However, perhaps because she had been practicing in the bath, she swam smoothly without showing any particular reluctance.
But the water was still a little cold, so I was shivering when I got out.
Lily still snuggles up to me when she sleeps at home, so maybe she's not that sensitive to the heat.
