..................... But someone forgot to tell Saide

I dont have any pictures because I forgot my phone, so hopefully the story will be just as good.

I took Sadie to the dog park, there is a nice shallow stream there, she hasnt been in water yet. She walked right in up to her ankes right away so I figures she was good. thats about as far as whe went. I threw the ball in for Thalie, who loves to go in. Saide wouldnt go back it, no biggie, when she is comfortable. I kept throwing the ball in for thalie and Saide and I would play tug with the rope. Sadie would back up and when her pack paws hit the water, she would jump forward. Thalie went in the water and Sadie would play tug. Sadie was pulling the rope and started backing up into the water... she didnt seem to mind. She kept backing up, she backed up to a branch that had fallen and didnt seem to mind, but kept backing up into the deeper water. I keep calling her but she wont come forward. She is standing shoulder deep in the water and wont move, mind you now im hysterical laughing at her cute face. She still wouldnt come to me and I started pulling the long rope in that i had tied to her but it must have come un buclked so she was now loose, I was hoping to reel her in like a fish. She started to get a bit worried and started to let out a sweet howl, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, my heart was braking, So in I went to save my puppie from humiliation. I walked proundly into the streem to get my little one. She was so happy and trotted right out of the stream. Thalie was sitting on the bank with a look of disappointment.

I love it! Gwen goes into the pond up to her shoulders... that's it ... funny thing is that she will shake while she is still up to her shoulders in the water... so she ends up spraying everyone within range..

Great story.

I'm still working on it with Sugar too...that shoulder point is the breaking point, eh?

Let us know how it turns out next time.

Haha, great story! Thalie was probably thinking "that little brat, always gets her own way!"
