For my birthday, my master bought me a swim vest. It is bright yellow and he teased me when he told me that yellow is the alligators favorite color. At first, it felt a little uncomfortable. When he first put it on me it was inside the house to take a picture and the nylon felt warm against my fur. But he didn't make me wear it very long. The next time he put it on me was over at Jeanie's house before we went in the pool. It was awkward at first, it just felt funny. But I trust what ever my master does for me and after I swam around a little in the pool, I could see it helped me float without struggling. And I like looking stylish! Master's wet suit is almost the same color as my gear, so we match! I like that.
The next time we went on the river, I wore my vest again and it really helped. Most of the river is shallow and I can walk on the bottom but every once in a while, my paws don't touch the bottom and this pretty vest holds me up. We were drifting down river and he wasn't even paddling and I wasn't doggy paddling either. The river just carried us along.
