OH, my mum and I met up with NaomiH and family plus Sparky in their holiday cottage close to the beach. We all went down to the beach, and I went in the sea for the first time since we've had Jasper. Or the first time over my knees, at any rate.
Jasper got really agitated and worked up, barking and pacing. He went into the see deeper than he's been before - almost up to his shoulders - but only because he was so anxious. I got out far sooner than I wanted to and OH went in, but he was the same with OH.
What do you reckon is going on in his head? As he can't swim, does he simply think it's dangerous and fears for our safety? I've also noticed he's not been happy when he's seen other dogs go into deep water before but I've wondered if that's because he can't get to them. I don't think J was just upset because he couldn't get to us, it seemed something more than if, say, we were on the other side of the fence.
Could it stem from the time he jumped into deep water and I had to rescue him?
