Clown fish
Newfoundlands are water dogs. Since we live in the desert, Nemo's swimming experiece is a bit spotty. Here is his first attempt ever:

The second try was more sucessful. We went to a lake in North Las Vegas with Steve, Melissa and Norah. He was more interested in chasing Norah than in swimming, but he definitely paddled a few strokes.

We went to Los Angeles last weekend, and Nemo got to swim in a clean, 80 degree pool. His cousin Napoleon has a love/hate relationship with the water. He loves to swim but hates that he can never catch the water. That's why he's yelping at the beginning of the video.

So far, there have been no attempts to rescue anyone from the water. All those stories of heroic Newfoundlands that magically save people from drowning have not been recreated by Nemo (yet).
