Gracie finally went swimming today with a little help from me. It was high tide and she would not jump off our steps. My sister jumped in, then I jumped in and were calling her..she would not budge...cried a lot, barked a lot, but no swim. So I sat w her on the steps, picked her up, carried her out and let her swim in. She loved it as long as I would keep taking her out and let her swim in. Oh well it is a start. We will try again tomorrow. Someone forgot to tell her that labs are suppose to love water. We had fun.
