Today I had Gracie at the pond on my parents property for the first time. If you keep up around here, you know she LOVES to play in the water tub on the patio. When we first arrived, she was immediately curious, and in up to her chest, checking everything out. She bobbed for treats enthusiastically, but would not push off to swim.
I decided to walk her around the perimeter of the pond, probably about a 1/4 mile loop. As we got to the opposite side, she noticed my Sister in Law across the way, and before I could BLINK, she took a flying leap 5 feet out into the water!! I could not believe my eyes! And of course she sank like a stone, in right over her head in a flash.
Well, up she popped, with feet a flailing, vertical in the water, paws slapping, oh my I grabbed my camera and managed one shot of the meelee .
Then I got another one as she came out of the water with this sheepish look on her face .
I laughed until I nearly fell down. She was not phased by it after she got shook off, and continued her jaunt around the pond, albeit without any more flying leaps!
