Luther is quite the 'water dog'. On the 4th of July, we went to the cottage on the James River. Jimmy threw the decoys and Luther didn't hesitate--he took off into the water and swam after them. After retrieving, he delivered them into Jimmy's hand. No tug of war! I guess he did this a dozen times.
The next day we took Luther to Neblett's Mill Pond where Jimmy threw the dummy far out in the water. Luther loved every minute of fetching the dummies. The first dummy was thrown far out before they were set up and it drifted away. Jimmy put Luther in the Jon boat (his first boat ride) and Luther was excited at this new adventure. When the boat got up near the dummy, Luther jumped overboard and retrieved the dummy. I called him from the shore and as he was swimming back, Jimmy started talking and Luther did a 180! Oh no! So I asked Jimmy to be quiet and called Luther to the shore and he came. Phew!
Luther was 16 weeks on Tuesday, July 6th!
Jimmy is looking forward to this fall and seeing Luther retrieve ducks. I can honestly say that Luther would be thrilled if he knew what was lying ahead for him. Good dog!
