Sink or Swim
By Ashley
This past weekend Jelly went to the lake with me. He likes to jump into the shower, so I had not doubt that he would love the water. After a few laps out into the lake JD was less interested in swimming and more interested in running through leaves and eating mulch, lots and lots of mulch. As I watched him explore he bravely walked along the retaining wall that keeps the lake from washing away the land. In some places it's probably 2 to 3 ft above the water level. Every now and then one of his feet would slip and like a worried parent I would say "Jelly, be careful you're going to fall in." All of a sudden I heard a splash and went to call Jelly over to the steps. The poor thing was paddling with his front feet, but couldn't get his back feet horizontal to swim. I jumped in (it was cold) and lifted him out of the water. Thankfully unfazed, he happily ran over to his towel and waited for me to dry him off (he loves being rubbed with a towel when he's wet).
