Diving off the rocks (kind of)

Mr B loves to run into the sea for rocks. We stopped taking a ball to the beach and throwing it into the water for him when we, and he, realised he can't swim with his mouth open. 
After we'd watched about 100 balls float of towards Brixham we decided to give them a miss and settle for throwing stones in.
Running into the sea is one thing, going for a swim out for a few feet is great as long as he isn't too far out of his depth but jumping into the water off the rocks, that 's one thing he has to pluck up courage for. Once he's done it he's ok but the first time takes him a while.
Here he is last week on a particularly warm day.

Update on the epilepsy. He's been doing brilliantly and has been going as long as two months with no issues so we count ourselves very lucky. However, last night was his night for a fit. He was just about recovering and just able to stand when the cat walked over to him, gave him a kiss on his nose and did a little purry meow as if she was asking him if he was ok. Bents managed to give his tail a little wag as a thank you. It was a little bit of loveliness in an otherwise grim event. Aren't animals lovely?
