Abby got her first trip to a local park, one that has a large natural stream running through it. Barkley loved to come here and try and catch sticks we'd throw upstream, as they went past him. Due to a lack of any storms lately with high winds, there weren't any sticks around.click on photos to enlarge
You could tell she'd not been in water before, at first hesitant to go in, then just wanting to eat it.We brought a longer leash with some twine to attach to it to extend it a couple feet should she want to venture further out but at first, she was just content to walk in the water as we strolled down the bank. I'm waiting for a pork chop to drift downstream. OK I'm ready to go out in the deep end. It wasn't deep enough to swim, but she got to splash around a bit.
Look, I'm Snorkeling Dog!Do we have to go? That was fun Mom! And I shook the water off all over Dad, not your nice blouse Aren't I a good dog?She had two young ladies come by and pet her with a "what a pretty dog!" but she behaved well on her leash, and didn't crash any of the family picnics. She gave out a soft whine as we left the park, not wanting to leave. But it was time to go home for supper.Balsamic Glazed Crispy Oven Pork with Roasted Onions and Cheddar Biscuits Where did Abby go?Somebody's tired out from their day.
