Sink or swim

Just back from a walk along the canal with Ledger. Love it down there as its never busy and I can let him off lead for a good run well curiosity must of got the better of him today, he was snuffling around on the bank and fell in! Well apart from being in a harness in a hydro pool (he freaked without it) he has never done more than paddle in water.

The complete look of panic on his face as his legs frantically tread water and being a canal there was no gradual bank for him to pull himself out. Mom to the rescue on my knees in the wet grass managed to get hold of his collar and lift him enough to get his front paws on the bank, and he managed to scramble out and over me

Cue one soggy shaky staffy who stuck to the hedgerow for the walk back to the car and has been snuggled in close to me since we got home.

Aww poor ledger, there's nothing worse than an unplanned dip, snuggle tight to mummy little boy

Aw Ledger.... Bet mum's your hero today

oh bless lol

Aww poor fella good job mummy rescued you, now stay away from the edge  

Awww bless him, Daisy's feel in to water a few times but she's always on the flex lead or long line so I can easily pull her out, she hates water!!

Awww, poor little boy! 

Aww bless! I had to do the same with Otis on Sunday he decided to run full pelt into the sea and then realised it was a little too deep and froze So in went mummy to pull him out as he wasn't coming himself haha!

Ahhhh Ledger poor you, I hope this encounter doesn't put you off swimming in the future.

ahh poor boy,and poor you,must have scared you to bits,glad he's ok and got all snuggled up
