#doggie swimming

Meanwhile in Amsterdam: “Will you just stop swimming in every body of water, please. The ducks and ducklings and other water fowls think you are just a bit too big to be flopping around in there.”

Lololol. Was so cute. Doggo had a great time!

Are Pallanophs capable of swimming?

Also your stuff was randomly recommended to me and I spent hours going through your amazing art!

Pallanophs can swim well enough: I’d been pondering their ability for years (initially I’d thought they’d be poor/reluctant swimmers due to their muscle to fat ratio) but that just doesn’t sound like that would be the case. They do however still sit very low in the water and don’t fair well in any strong current, but they have long strong limbs to propel them and in riskier situations, they make rafts and floatation devices to aid crossings. I imagine they could use something akin to a body/boogie board as well so they don’t need to use as much energy to stay above water. They mostly employ strokes similar to the classic mammalian “doggy paddle.”

However, the density of pallanoph bodies does lend itself to diving and underwater swimming. It’s uncommon that they hunt this way as they’d lack both speed and stealth, but crustaceans/mollusks/vegetation would be gathered this way.

Mostly, pallanophs wade. They do love water; but are very cautious and understanding of dangerous conditions.

I’m sure I’m missing some details/thoughts/conclusions and I’m kind of blaming that on the fact that swimming isn’t my forte, I’m a bit of a rock myself.

drawing myself drowning while listening to under the sea is the funniest thing 💀

I love dogs!!

Now I got to know. What kind of dog would you say I was?

There are no wrong answers. 😄

This is 100% biased because I own this type of dog buuuuuut -- gotta be a Newfoundland.

They are the most docile, loving, kind hearted doofs on the entire planet. Our guy Jäger is well over 100lbs but still insists that he's a wee little lap dog who needs to be held and cuddled at all times.

Loves, and I mean LOVES people. Take him to town? AH PEOPLE HELLO. Vet? AH PEOPLE HELLO. Nail trims? AH PEOPLE HELLO.

They're all around amazing dogs, and I've found one of my best friends in one. So it's suiting that you are a Newfoundland

I got so caught up in the excitement of being able to wear nice clothes now that I forgot the main thing.

I can go SWIMMING AGAIN 🤩 FINALLY after 15 years!!

I also found a couple of really good takeaways just walking to and from the gym that are affordable to me + classes I can take that I think I’ll enjoy more than just running and swimming. The only thing is I think I need to bring my own yoga mat and I don’t own onWait I can just call. Reminder to myself to ring in the morning and ask if I need to buy a yoga mat

So Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy have joined Peter Potamus for a diving vacation at the latter's isolated Polynesian atoll ...

For such a precocious and overactive pup like Augie, as much as his equally-caring father (essentially caring for Augie all the more after his birth mother died of complications following a difficult whelping), such an experience as diving in such crystalline waters as Polynesia Uncharted has (and are known to Peter Potamus, Ambassador of Diving unto The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera) couldn't have been more interesting. Especially coming over via The Magic Balloon of Peter Potamus, also expected to serve as the guide and instructor throughout.

It was during the journey over, in fact, that the obvious was made evident: Augie, normally wearing a green T-shirt, was going to more than likely be "wearing himself," as Peter explained the folderol.

"You mean--?" asked Doggie Daddy incredulously.

"His birthday suit."

"You don't mean--?" asked a now-stunned Doggie Daddy, prompting Peter to whisper in his ear, "Naked."

"And you wonder why that is ... even if I happen to be naked myself!"

"Consider the climate," Peter Potamus explained. "The warm and rather tropical nature thereof explains why the natives of such islands across Polynesia that I happen to be acquainted with obviously go naked, otherwise wearing a loincloth and little else."

"So that explains the birthday suit diving!" exclaimed Doggie Daddy.

All in all, for such a devoted father-and-son duet being in such a fascinating milieu, living off coconut milk, coconut meat and reef fish for the most part (as if canned provisions weren't exactly worthwhile to the ever-intrepid hippo), sleeping in hammocks set in the shallows just off the beach (and letting the sound of the waves induce sleep) and having such fascinating times bound to be led as much Peter Potamus as some rather friendly dolphins inhabiting the atoll's waters couldn't have turned out all the more memorable. And I do mean memorable; Peter Potamus "himself" will tell you about his teaching Augie the proper form for riding a dolphin's dorsal fin while diving, and Augie taking quickly to the experience ... the fascination with a certain specimen of brain coral in the lagoon as was bound to send previous guests of the hippo into "those feelings" being made obvious between the legs, with nothing embarrassing to show for it in the bargain (after all, in Nature, you try not to be embarrassed by the sexual in particular) ... the sheer magic inherent in just wearing one's self underwater, as if mask, fins and snorkel wasn't essential enough to a dive experience ... and the sheer experience of Peter Potamus' Underwater Hippo Hug as the highlight of any dive, a way of expressing friendship as much as satisfaction with the diving experience.

Sheerest fascination and delight prevailed as much as the desire to reinforce the father-son bond vis-a-vis Augie and Doggie Daddy, as well as Peter Potamus relating a number of Polynesian legends from his travels to such islands uncharted acquired from his travels into such regions fascinating. But if there was to be a particular highlight of this diving excursion, it would have to be the occasion where Doggie Daddy got caught a little off his guard while swimming with a dolphin who sent him down five fathoms in the Pacific inexplicably, coming across quite the reef in the process as stunned Doggie Daddy so into having quite a show between his legs, which Peter Potamus "himself" admitted initially was unbelievably hilarious. (Besides, what would be a diver's equivalent of "ROFLMAO"?)

"Nothing like some diving," Peter Potamus is quick to explain on the journey back, "to discover how interesting family bonding can get--and you certainly demonstrated as much!"

To which Peter's simian pilot and navigator, So-So, concurred.

I think constantly about anakin, someone from a desert planet, deciding he needs to make sure livvy can swim bc when he became a padawan, he didn't know. and livvy, who lived on two worlds where knowing how to swim was a NECESSITY, and who regularly got into swimming races w her crechemates and often WON said races, decides to pretend to suck at it for as long as she can so she doesn't hurt his feelings bc him teaching her this was important to him.
