Can Bassets Swim?

We went to the beach at lunch time today. Luca decided that it was time for me to learn to swim. The problem is that I do not know if Bassets like me can swim! (what happens if I just sink?) I am not keen on cold water anyway even though Luca seems to love it!

Today was a lovely winter's day and we had the beach to ourselves

The sea was blue but looked very cold.

and rough!

That looks scary! With my legs I would be under water!

I decided sitting on the beach and watching was the best thing

So Luca and Sam decided that some fresh water might be best for me

I was not so sure

And I am not prepared to try that until I know that Bassets can float!

But as you can see I did get my belly wet which was a start! (I might just wait until summer to try more)

Great excitement about Adam and Jenny coming back! Luca has only two sleeps to go!

Oh yes and my dad's paw seems a little better!
