The dog flies.

We found this great little lake on the back side of the Coast Guard base.  Most people like to fish in it for trout, but not us. We like to watch our dog fly there.

You read that right: Jack flies. All it takes is a nubby orange stick thingee and a good arm.

It goes a little something like this: We wave the nubby in front of him and he focuses on it reaaaaalllly hard:

We wind up, throw the nubby into the lake, then stand back in amazement and watch as our dog flies:

He grabs the nubby and brings it back to us:

Pretty cool, huh? I'll show you again, just in case you don't believe me. :)

Jack focuses really hard:

We throw the nubby into the water and watch as he flies:

Then he brings it back to us:

And the process repeats. Over and over and over and over again. It's quite amazing.

Then sometimes, just to show off, Jack practices levitating while he's doing the simple task of fetching on dry land - with his front legs then his back ones:

He thinks he's so cool (We do too!)

Joe rewards Jack's awesomeness with a hip massage

and a nice towel-drying

And when we get home, Jack gets a luxurious bubble bath, an ear-cleaning, a pedicure (nails clipped), and a 20-minute brushing. He is SO spoiled. But wouldn't you spoil a dog that can fly too? :)
