Puppydog

Over the weekend we decided to take Arlo to the Montrose Dog Beach to give him some quality running around crazy puppy time. While there we met plenty of other crazy mutts (this was the first time we went to the beach on a weekend afternoon and it was jumping with people and dogs) and played all sorts of fun games.
Generally, while there Arlo will approach the water and go in a little, but always turn around and run up and down the beach.
This time, Stacey went into the water with a stick and told Arlo to 'come get it'. To our surprise, he did.

Soon enough we were teaching the little guy to swim. He liked to bound out of the water as fast as he could once he got the stick or ball or whatever toy we used to lure him into the water. But eventually he started running in and swimming without us being in the water.

At 13 months old, he's still pretty damn cute.
