Water Sausage

Once there was a Pug named Babs, there was a pink life jacket, and at last there was a pair of golden "Doggles"... Put it all together and you have a very confused dog! Well, Babs was confused at first, but then she realized her life jacket was not coming off anytime soon, and the goggles were only a 'every once- in-a-while thing.'
George and I wanted Babs to learn the element of water, and see how she did when faced with a 'swimming letsson'... in fact she was going stand up paddle boarding as well. When we took Babs to the river, she was very nervous and timid about the water. It was very cold and unknown for her, but after a few moments she became a bit more calm and dog paddled like a pro. I made sure to stay close to her, I will admit I was a nervous dog-mom. It was her first time and if you know me well, you know this little black barrel is like a child to me.
We adventurously put Babs on George's paddle board and those two took off like two peas in a pod! Babs did very well and then after a while I joined along for the ride.



Little does Babs know she is going again this coming weekend!!
