Mom took me on a long car ride, and by the time we stopped I was ready to get out and walk around. I did, and we walked up to a house, in the front door, through the house, out the back door, onto the patio, and I kept walking when all of a sudden I was over my head in water! HELP! I bobbed up to the top pretty fast, especially since someone helped me. And my paws just started moving like they knew what to do, so I let them carry me right to where there were steps that I could use to get back to land. AAACK! WHAT was THAT?!?
Turns out it's what people call an in-ground swimming pool - but there was no warning or anything! All the other times I've seen water I could just walk into it and lay down to cool off, but not this time! Noooooooooo. I stepped and sank! A little while later I had to try it again, and sure enough, the same thing happened! After that I let mom carry me in to cool off, then let me go so I could swim (that's what my paws were doing) to the steps. Now THAT was dandy! And there were quite a few people there who admired me, and one very handsome chocolate lab gentleman, so it turned into quite a good afternoon, but the beginning was enough to turn my fur white! Watch out for water my friends - you just never know how deep it is!
