Molly and Nellie earned their WRD today at the NCNE water test and boy, were they impressive! Although all of us MMNers watching just KNEW they were going to do it, we couldn't help but hold our breath! Molly cleverly took Nellie down the beach to direct her to the correct first article on the double retrieve. Nellie swam so fast that she created a wake! She eagerly jumped off the boat to retrieve her paddle and came right back to the boat with it. She didn't hesitate a second carrying the life ring out to that very convincing steward pretending to drown. She took her line and bumper out to the stranded boat and pulled them safely up onto the beach. And despite the fact that the splunky she had to retrieve was not her splunky (thank you Barbara for loaning yours to replace the lost one!) she shoved her head under the water to get it like it was her best friend in the world. And her final dramatic act was to jump off the boat to save Molly and pull her safely to shore. WE ARE SO PROUD!
Barbara with Ozzy (hey, Ev, I spelled it right!) and Sandy with Xena did well and we are keeping our fingers crossed for new titles tomorrow!
