When we lived at the loft
all of our air registers were in the ceiling. I had longed to see what Lola
would do with a blast of air coming at her from below. I had a tiny glance of
it at my parent’s house during one visit but all that happened was a look of
shock and then a loss of interest. When we bought our house and moved in I was
excited! I was for sure something funny would happen or our dogs would enjoy
warming up by them in the winter and cooling down on them in the summer. Six
months in and our dogs acted like they haven’t even noticed the air registers
and the blowing of warm of cold air coming from them! So the other day I took
it upon myself to make them figure it out.
First I picked Graham up
and put him over the air. He didn’t seem to mind it but was a bit unsure of
what to do….odd behavior since this is the dog that pee’s when he sees new
things! The end result was Graham in a superman pose as his fur fluffed in the
wind and his ears seemed like little parachutes.
Second I picked up Lola.
Again I was not met with shock or a terrified dog trying to wrestle out of my
hands. Instead I was met with swimming. The second the air touched her belly
Lola began to swim. I think I may have peed my pants from laughing! It was the
last the thing I was expecting.
I gave the dogs a break
for the day from teasing them with the air register. It only took a few days
before my urge to take the dogs air swimming was too much to bear!
I picked up Graham, who is
afraid of everything, seemed more annoyed then anything and began to slowly swim.
I then picked up Lola who
dutifully began to swim. Lola seems to be an excellent swimmer and was kicking
her little paws as best as she could. The lower to the ground I held her the
faster she would kick!
Oddly both dogs don’t seem
to mind our little air swimming times. We’ve done it a few times and I swear Lola
barked at me to hold her over it one time! They don’t act scared of the air
register at all, in fact they still just ignore it. And when they are swimming
they don’t struggle to get away, they simply swim.
