Water dog

I would have never guessed that the 10 week old puppy that we forced persuaded into the water, on his first camping trip, who - when we finally let him out - pretended he didn't know us for a couple hours while he pouted slept off his fear....

Would one day become a dog that ventures into dirty lakes to retrieve sticks... (very cautiously)

 Drink out of a hose EVERY chance he gets....

And play in the sprinklers!! We actually thought he might be afraid of the sprinklers.  He most definitely is not.  Oliver playing the the sprinklers reminds me of a child playing the arcade game whack-a-mole trying to get piles of tickets for a cheap little prize.  Pure joy.

This pup is going to LOVE summer!
