Do you think dogs are just born loving the water, or do they learn it from their mom? 🌊🐾
Today Earl had his first trip down to the river, and I think it's safe to say he had the time of his life. He spent the afternoon chasing after his mom, convinced he could keep up with every step she took.
The funny part? His mom wasn't exactly worried about whether he was still behind her. 😂 Every time she wandered too far ahead, Earl would stop and bark as if to say, "Hey! You forgot me!" It sounded like a tiny crime scene echoing through the trees.
Even after all that running, he never wanted the adventure to end. He gave it everything he had... until those little puppy legs finally decided they were done for the day. ❤️ We ended up carrying him back to the car while he soaked up all the cuddles after his big adventure.
If I had to describe Earl in a few words, they'd be sweet, affectionate, easygoing, and happiest when he's with his people. He's the kind of puppy who just wants to be included in whatever you're doing.
Watching these F1B Mini Bernedoodles discover new places and experiences is one of my favorite parts of raising them. Every outing helps build confidence, curiosity, and a love for exploring the world.
Now I'm curious...
Do you think Earl is going to grow up to be a true water dog, or do you think today was just about following Mom wherever she went? I'd love to hear your guess!
