Here Gus takes another leap for his dummy. He gets about ten feet out before hitting the water. If he could get traction on the PVC pier it would be longer.
Compare this photo with the one of him below jumping off the pier. Ol Gus has a little more swagger in his jump, doesn't he? He just keeps gaining more confidence and loves the lake more and more. Too bad, as summer is coming to and end.
He hates for swim time to end. Even though he is tired he is looking out at the lake hoping to continue the fun.
