Trying to Work Out our Bug-A-Boos

Erin is trying to problem solve why Miss Brenna has suddenly become wary of the boat.  She has previously loved to jump and now she won't sit on the boat long enough to leave the beach.  Erin thinks that Brenna's change in attitude came when we went from asking her to retrieve a paddle to waiting on the boat deck to jump in and save Erin.  She may just be wary of riding out knowing that Erin is going to jump in and need her help!  So back to the basics.  Look, Brenna!  Your wonderful bumper is sitting on this platform!  Do ya wanna come get it?

Brenna is cautious but is having trouble resisting the call of the bumper!

OK, fine!  I'll climb up there for that!  Yeah for Erin for figuring out how to go about that with a positive approach!

Birdie has been jumping great for her bumper. . . but the paddle is another matter!

She didn't go when I told her to but she's still with me!

Whoa!  Look at that air as she leaps to the paddle sitting just off to the left of the frame!

And, yes, she did bring it back to me on the dock (with the help of that handy long line)!
