It'll Be the Death of Her

I was worried that Dog's giant head would act like a mammoth lead weight and pull her directly to the bottom of the river when I was trying to get her to go swimming. I was only partially right; she did start to sink, but only because she was so busy trying to whine whilst she swam that she forgot to paddle.

I am so glad she didn't drown.

I have tried about half a dozen times to get my dog to swim in the pool. You have to give me credit for persistence. I thought if she got to know it she would like it - wrong - she thinks she is going to drown every time. She swims over to the closest edge - and some of the edges of the pool are way above the water'e edge, like 2 feet - and then projects her front feet up and tries to drag herself out by her claws...it is so unpretty.

The weird part is that she gladly swims in creeks and the ocean. She would rather wade, though.
