Today we took a nice long hike along the Assabet river. Bailey and Brandon took a couple dips along the way.

We learned that playing fetch with a stick in a river is a challenge. Brandon, the fetch-a-holic, was not able to return the stick after I threw it in the river. Go figure!

As we reached the deeper part of the river Brandon also learned how to dive. He jumped in, expecting it was like the rest of the river, and went completely under water. That surprised him a bit, but not enough to change his feelings about water.

After the two hour hike we returned for a brushing and the monthly dose of flea and tick juice. Now we have some sleepy labs resting through the evening.
