Susanne and I took the kids to the river today. We are trying very hard to socialize Charmin so we can work on our training in various locations.
We visited Rock Park which was recently completely landscaped anew. It looks great. For those of you not of this area, the Truckee River flows from Lake Tahoe and the water can be well…a bit chilly.
I had a bit of fun trying to get Charmin to go into the water.
“Get the stick, get the stick!” After three or four sticks thrown in and Charmin simply looking at me like “Dude, you are crazy” I felt I had to be the big man and lead her into the river. Let me assure you I didn’t want to get in the water any more than she did, so I stepped out onto a rock in the river.
It started out ok. She looked a little skittish.
Then the panic set in or her girly parts hit the cold water.
I think her claws left scratch marks in the rocks.
Yeah, Sally is not a big fan of water either. I mean, unless we don't want her to get in it...
ReplyDeleteThere is no shame in being averse to splashing around in the icy waters of Truckee river, although it sounds pretty good right now to those of us enduring summer in New Orleans.
