During this summer however, in addition to our amazing wedding on July 27th, he swam for the first time in our backyard.  That wasn&#8217;t enough for me though.  You see&#8230;I wanted him to get comfortable enough to the point that he&#8217;d either fetch a toy if I threw it in or jump in on his own because he finds it fun and refreshing!  Well&#8230;today I achieved both.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZUjc6FMeMQc?list=UUu74rrgfTdeTyv8LPXe78Jg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been getting more and more comfy with our pool and now you see a fraction of the fun we had this afternoon, in this short video.  Heh heh, who knew that Paul Gale Network would branch out far enough, including even &#8220;teaching dogs how to swim&#8221;.  Good job, Buddha!  Oh and since we&#8217;re on the subject of dogs&#8230; if any of you are interested, I wrote a children&#8217;s book called Lisek&#8217;s Great Adventure which can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Liseks-Great-Adventure-Paul-Gale\/dp\/1466945095\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1343796603&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=lisek%27s+great+adventure\" title=\"right here on Amazon.com\">right here on Amazon.com<\/a>.  It&#8217;s a cute story about a little dog getting taken in by a young boy and his family.  And if you&#8217;re looking for a more affordable route to take, it&#8217;s also available on the iPhone, iPod, iPad, Kindle, Nook, and all Android phones for only $1.99.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you&#8217;re curious how our wedding looked like, check this out.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RY8IhhzH3gQ?list=UUu74rrgfTdeTyv8LPXe78Jg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now that&#8217;s truly my favorite video.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buddha and me, rockin&#8217; out!
