Ellie Shows Her Poodle Heritage

This past weekend was the weekend we were draining/refilling our Endless Pool.  I rolled back the cover and started the first siphon hose.  The poo pack including our foster girl, Ellie, were running around the top decking watching what I was doing.  I finished.  I went into the kitchen to get everything ready to can some dog food.

Splash!  Fearing for one of the dogs, I went out to the pool room.  Ellie was on the deck shaking herself.  I called her over, dried her off, and went back to the kitchen.

Splash!  What a klutz!  Did she fall in again?  Back to the pool.  Quick dry of Ellie again.  Hm.  I do not see her ball here.  I wonder why she fell in the pool.  Back to the kitchen.

Splash!  OK.  This is not an accident now.  This time I picked up the waterproof camera as I got to the pool room.  I turned it on video.  I watched Ellie who has found her poodle roots.

Notice in the longer video she has two swimming styles.  One which is smooth with no splashed water when she wants to move and one where she deliberately splashes so she can catch the bubbles by snapping at them.  What a clown!
