Taku Lake Cool Off




Weather is warm again up here...good time to head to the closest lake and cool off.  Taku lake is a man made lake that was a gravel quarry many years ago.  It sits right beside Campbell Creek and is home to many birds, fish and beaver.  Mama likes to swim there and so do I.


There are many trails around the lake and along the creek.  But today mama and dad took me to the edge of the lake to swim...


Being a multi-tasker I like to swim and fetch!


Dad is the better thrower...I bring the frisbee back to him rather than mama.


Come on dad, throw a really good one!


Sweet!


Would you believe that some dogs don't go swimming???  What's up with that?


They are missing out big time!


We saw our beaver again... love this guy!



 He swims better than me but I have not seen him fetch yet.



I could do this all day long...



But the folks got tired and we had to leave after about an hour.


I gave a good shake,



toweled off




and headed off into the sunset !


Catch ya all later!

  2. Our dogs are right there with you with the fetching and swimming. I think that beaver would be a mighty good fetcher of sticks! Looks like a great place to cool off.

  8. Hi Ryker
    Looks like you had a fantastic time swimming in Lake Taku. Your toy looks awesome and very easy to see while swimming. We can't understand why some dogs don't like swimming either it's one the worlds best activities. From Milo & Jet

    I love, love, love that Taku lake is man-made, and birds, fish, plus beaver enjoy it!! Sweet!! ;-D
    I'm afraid that Rose just might be one of those canines who refuses to go in bodies of water!! But, then again. Being part Beagle, we cannot just let her loose, or I may never see my girl again. She will run away!! ;op
    Love, Raelyn.... Plus Rose, my BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE "Mystery Dog"!!
