My basset mix loves the water. Any lightweight life jacket recs to help keep her ears dry?

She’s a 50 lb basset + lab + various hounds mix. Think like overgrown weiner dog with a labrador’s face and the attitude of a teenage princess. Legs are longer than a basset’s, but short in comparison to her long body. Her ears are more beagle than basset, though still pretty infection-prone.

Anyway. It’s getting to be super hot where we live, but luckily there’s a dog park on the lake. She’s actually a pretty good swimmer, all things considered (thanks lab genes), but she does have trouble keeping water out of her ears.

Wondering if anyone has had success with any particular life jackets, considering the breed’s unique body shape. Ideally something light that’ll just support her, without going full-blown wearable life raft. Thanks!

Pet grass confusion

I have an older cat who’s started peeing outside the litterbox (she doesn’t have an infection we checked) and so I thought I’d try adding some of the real grass to the laundry room where her litterbox is.

I showed Riggsby because he was curious and he thought I got him a strange new grass bed lol. He’s like it’s a little weird but I appreciate the gesture 🤷‍♀️.
