We can't lie. It was COLD out there in that water! Several of us were donning wet suits and it was still COLD out there! The dogs mostly loved it though. Birdie seemed not thrilled with the cold water, which was a surprise considering how enthusiastic she was last season. But with every new season brings new puzzles to solve! She did enjoy posing as Queen of the Nile as we rowed around the lake with her sitting on the platform of the boat. Nellie is showing great promise on the WRDX exercises. She brought in our Vicky the Unconscious Victim. She also did great grabbing Kathy's hand as she transitioned to a real person in that glove. Nella was awesome doing some warm up runs for the WD exercises. She managed all of them with huge enthusiasm. We'll be working on getting her to wait until she's told to go out to help! Gabby and Xena also were fabulous. The go outs are great. And, we are happy to welcome two new pups to the group (and their handlers, of course)! Bob, the 4 month puppy was so happy to be retrieving his bumper you just couldn't help but smile. And Tyler practically bounced through the water. Both show terrific promise as future water rescue dogs!
