Doggie Paddle...
Took the dogs to a nearby lake, good fun was had by all!!
Where did everyone go?
Bingo gets her tummy wet. (but that's as far as she goes!)
Nevermind the hippos, where's that croc?!
Collie Surfing...
Axel wonders what just moved past him....
No, you fetch him the beer, I got it last time.
Last dog standing. (Everyone else is fast asleep)

Those are all great shots especially 2, 5 and 6 really stand out for me. I'd be very tempted to remove the blade of grass just below Axel to make it perfect
Great looking dogs as well
I've just noticed there are hippo's in #3! don't they mind your dogs sharing the same watering hole? Do you get Crocodiles there as well?

Super shots - so different (esp the Hippo) to what we usually see.
I really like number 2 !

Many thanks everyone!
H - let me know when you are coming, we will make a plan to get you to the good spots!
Dejavu - agree the grass is distracting, but getting rid of it is way beyond my PS skills at the moment! The hippos are not keen on sharing with dogs, cows or humans but they just move off into deeper water if they get disturbed. There are crocs seen there from time to time, but very few and they are very shy, so would shoot off as soon as there is any disturbance (they feed on the fish in the lake - some of which get to over 2 meters!)
