Ohhhh.....that's wonderfl!! What a delightfully uplifting set of pnotos!!
It looks like he was swimming very well! Is this his first time in the water since his amp.? If so, his form realy looks good.....head held high, happy, hapy face! He looks very comfortable!
That's a great picture of him shaking off as he gets out of the water.......I think he was trying to soak you too! Love ow you captured his jowls doing the "water shake-off dance"!
Happy day over there in TJ Land:-) 
I think these pnotos say very well ow he's doig......."swimmingh well"!

Keep on enjoying yourself TJ....you doit well!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
He did fine... except navigation. Seems there is a very strong tendency to turn left. I can't blame the current for that either.
Since it was at a State Park TJ couldn't decide if he should swim or sniff everything... so he tried to do both.
Best part was that he was his old self.... a little slower, but I could see my TJ doing what he always did when we went for swims/walks.... just with three legs.
Great pics! It's hard to keep a lab out of the water (who would want to try?).
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14
Ha! Now that you mentioned it, I can see that he is circling to the left! Guess that's called thr fro t leg amputee's version of the dog paddle....with one less paddle:-)
The fact that he's e enjoying himself and doing thi gs he loves to do is all that matters! He's a very loved boy and he knows it! Ad he's really a handsome lab..He looks fit and healthy and that's good
