that Abbey turns into a water dog.
The past 2 summers I've tried to get her to be a swimmer. She can do it, and does it well, with and without her doggie life jacket. She just doesn't like it when the water goes over her head. She'll follow other dogs into the water until she can just barely touch, then turns around and runs out.
But the past couple of times we've gone to the dog park, she's been RUNNING into the water and not freaking out as much. And last night my neighbor brought her puppy over so the two of them could run off some energy and she ran right into the nasty, scummy pond behind my apartment.
She wouldn't listen to me whatsoever and definitely got thrown in the bathtub after, but I'm hoping this is the year she'll turn into a swimmer!!
