We have a pool! We can swim. The poodles are not sure how they feel about us disappearing up behind the wall they can not climb. They know they do not want to be tossed or fall into the water they see when we set them on the wall.
Marvin freezes in terror when he is on the wall, on the cover, or floating on the Styrofoam we used as a temporary cover. He then gingerly sits down and waits for someone to save him.
Gidgett waits to be told what she should do next. She is obviously hoping to not get wet and would much rather be on the ground.
Chester is a different case. He obviously is unsure of the water. The Styrofoam was not too scary as long as you could race to the coping. The floating cover is completely different. It is made to run like a mad dog around as fast as you can go. Even better is to race around just out of reach when you know people are trying to catch you.
Watching him race joyfully around you can not help but smile.

A fun, descriptiion about your furry kids. I had an amazing little black schnauzer for 15 years, she was my youngest child to me. I still miss her, but she was ready to go. She'd survived cancer, but old age was more than she could do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the happy thoughts!
