Water is fun, or is it?

It's hot, it's really hot here in Belgium. Almost 30 degrees Celsius, and the next days it's going to get even hotter, that's with our humid climate pretty hot. On the news we get warnings to drink a lot of water and not to do heavy work, especially old people and young children must be careful in this weather. Even the dogs like to be inside rather than outside, because it's a bit less hot in the house than in the garden. That suits me well, I'm not a fan of these excessive temperatures, be it very cold or very hot, and I like to stay inside too and do some work there.

But when the sun is getting lower, I get the hose out and then the fun starts. The opinions are divided though... Floyd, Jai and Yoshi chase the waterjet, snapping and biting at it and trying to catch it. They don't mind getting wet, they even seem to love it. Jessie and Suki on the other hand, keep far away from the water. I don't know about Suki yet, but I'm sure Jessie doesn't mind water when she's working sheep. She doesn't mind rain at all, and she lies down in a puddle or in mud ever so happily if she can keep on working. But when we're going on a walk, Jessie walks around the rain puddles and doesn't like to get her feet wet. I wonder if Suki is going to be the same...

So Jai is the most fierce one, you can hear his teeth clapping at the water. Yoshi is almost as fierce as Jai, she even races away to turn back and take a run at the water to attack it! Floyd wants to join in, he plays along and snaps at the water too, but when I aim the hose at him he's trying to avoid it though. But he's happy to be in the game. And so you can see, it's really easy to have fun with your dogs, all you need is a hose and water!
