Yep.. the day after her very first boat ride, Andy and I took Kia to the Dog Park with a friend of our and his pooch Dreyfus. This was Dreyfus' first trip to the Dog Park.
The lake as gone down a bit and so there is more of a bank than used to be. Anyway..... Andy was standing on land near the dock and I was actually on the dock when suddenly SPLOOSH! Kia had ran past Andy and waded into the water. But instead of getting out, she started swimming out deeper along side the dock. Next thing I know, I'm walking the length of the dock, encouraging her until we made it to the end and she climbed up the ramp, extremely pleased with herself.
She did this...4 times I believe.
Then I decided to see if she'd fetch in the water off the dock. Andy and Mike found me a stick. I went to the ramp and tossed it in. A moments hesitation... then SPLOOSH! She swam to get the stick and brought it back. She did this numerous times, each time a little farther out.
I'm now going to invest in water toys. :D
And next time I'll take pics. LOL!!
