We went for a canal walk this afternoon, Jasmine has been showing us her
love of water by diving into puddles these past few weeks and so we decided
it was time to "test the water!"
She absolutely loved it and was soon swimming smoothly, navigating
obstacles, changing direction, literally like a duck to water.
Jed on the other hand panicked, he was splashing frantically, and going
nowhere, he wasn't the least bit streamline and was foaming at the mouth in
panic. We immediately got him out of course and he was shaking, I know I've
joked in the past about his aversion to water, but is it commonplace for a lab
to be scared to that extent and is there anything I can do to help conquer
his fear?
We won't ever force him again as he truly was petrified, Jasmine on the other
hand looks like she might like it as a regular treat.
