Carola, thanks. I agree that he will probably HATE it (I can never get him to put on a sweater, either) but his head is really heavy so I'm worried about him going under when no one sees. What he does is stand on the ladder and paddles, then launches himself into the water. It's really, really funny, but he tires easily and I don't think pugs were designed to be swimmers. Maybe I should get a newfoundland to fish him out.
