I don’ really do youtube, in terms of uploading things. I just have this video to share, that I have on Photobucket, and may have posted it before. It’s the only thing I have locked and loaded and ready to go. There is a creek near my house and I took my Lizzie there, when she was about 6 months old, to see if she might like the water. I let her off her leash and kind of nudged her, well maybe it was a bit more than just a nudge, into the water, and she not only loved it, she kind of went crazy.
I will take her back to the creek, but not back to the ocean, I don’t think. She doesn’t seem to like it so why push it on her?
She did really love it
The sun was going down and I took the video on my cell phone so it is not the best quality.
About a week later I took her too a different part of the creek, about a week later, where the water was deeper, to see how she would do and she seemed to flounder and had trouble getting out. I reached in to get her and fell in. She and I both managed to get out eventually but I ended up walking with her, through my neighborhood completely drenched; soaked from head to toe. That was our last trip to the creek.
I took her to the ocean once but she didn’t seem to like that at all. The Delaware shore is not at all wild and it wasn’t crowded; she and I were the only creatures there that day. I had her on her leash and tried to get her to get closer to the water but she didn’t seem to like it at all. I didn’t want to push it. She kept looking up at me as if to say: “I don’t really like this, O.K.? Could we go back now?” So we left and went back to the car. She likes the water, seems to at least like the creek, but not the ocean. I think she doesn’t like the waves.
