News from teh font

Went with the mom lady and the bear dog over to swan falls dam today. The idea being that maybe bear will teach yuki how to swim like she means it. So the good news is, she doesn't hate the water. The bad news is, she's chicken poop. At first she followed him right in, bam, off the dock and into the water swimming like a champ. I hadn't even got out of the truck while this was happening. Back on the dock she goes and bam again, only this time head deap into the muck on the other side of the dock. She barely comes up out of it, head covered in moss and fish turd. I had no choice but to drag her out of this one by scruff of the neck.

So time goes by and she decides jumping off of the dock is scary. We shove her in a couple times and she deals. It was amusing because she would literally go completely under water, even when trying to get in by herself. We ended up having to not use the dock and let her waddle out from the boat launch. It wasn't bad, but after about a half hour of this she gave us the up nose and began waiting for bear to bring the stick back rather than following him in after it. She would still float and swim and hang out in the water, she just wasn't as stimulated for the swim as bear was.

It was fun though. The weather was nice and the water was cool. I'm always amazed at how well she picks up on things. She swims better than bear when she's brave enough to get out there. She looks so tiny when her lumps of fur are plastered to her sides. Wish I had a camera to capture such an obvious kodak moment.
