Drinking Salt Water...

[Podgorney]

Specifically Sea Water,
We were at the Beach earlier this month, we all had a great time, especially Snowdon. However he did tend to drink the sea water a bit much which led
to a nasty episode for us (I'll just say that I had to rinse my feet off, and leave it at that), but even after that, he still wanted to drink from the ocean.
Is there anything I should do to discourage this, or do I need to let him figure it out for himself

I do not have an answer for this. Abby tried to drink the whole of the Coral Sea with the same startling results as experienced by Snowdon, and like Snowden, this did not deter her at all. Thereafter I tried to watch closely - very hard to do with a dog whose mouth is at water level anyway - and pranced around screeching Abby - No when I saw a lapping movement, and if she were near enough I would gently hold her mouth and point at the water saying No while shaking my head. She seems to have grown out of the habit - cross fingers - but I still watch her closely.

That's funny. I've never had a Corgi who liked drinking sea water. A half lick would be all any of them proffered. They would swim in the sea but when thirsty would not drink salt water. Are your Corgis growing gills?
