Labor Day Weekend Juhree, Duke and I went down to the Brownwood Lake this weekend. We had a great time swimming in the lake and riding the jet ski. Duke really enjoyed running around with the other dogs and sniffing around some new territory. Since we were at the lake, I wanted to expose Duke to the water and see how he liked it. We discovered that he hates the water. I originally tried to walk him down to the water to check it out but he would not go. So these pictures illustrate what happened next.

This is as far as Duke wanted to go towards the boat dock after the second attempt to get him in the water.
