I have a 70lb female Golden Ret. She is a swimming fool. Maybe next year we can make it race. Wonder if I can wear my wetsuit in this swim. If not…no way…too cold.

My buddy is giving me a hard time about this. I swam a minute slower that the half Vineman. Hehehehe.

Yahoo article says he’s the first known canine to make the crossing, but Dave Horning’s yellow lab Summer did it many times, no? Beating the dog was at one time a performance measure for the Sharkfest swim…
