The photos are great. It looks like Finn was having a wonderful time. I am no expert, but I think there is more likely an injury than sore muscles. The soreness would not make it hard for him to sit.
My guys have increased their exercise exponentially upon moving near a beach, and no matter how much fetching in the ocean that they do they never act like Finn is acting. They might get up a bit more slowly, but they do not refuse to sit.
You might want to try securing a sock on that foot that he is chewing to try to protect it from him a bit.
Please keep us posted on your your sweet guy is doing. He sure is cute!
If he is still not acting normally tomorrow I think a vet check is in order.
I think of my kids at the start of pool season and their feet were always raw from the pool area. The pads of his feet may be tender too. Not sure how that would affect his sitting, but I bet his pads got a bit of wear and tear as well as his nails. My hunting friend (yes, they treat dogs way different that doodle friends) told me to give leg tenderness and limping 3 days before taking them in. Of course, use your best judgement, but I give legs a 3-day rule now. It sounds like your beauty Finn is doing much better already!
