Meg has never been a fan of water ever since she fell in a pond off the fishing dock when she was a pup.  This is me trying to entice Meg into the water at Chatsworth for a paddle.  She was having none of it!

We went out this morning to a nature reserve called the Peter Fidler Center (where she actually fell in!)  and this is what happened

Usually she will put her front paws in and then jump back as though she has had an electric shock!

She would never usually put her chest in the water, so we told her she was a good girl (whilst being a bit nervous ourselves as she can't swim!)

With Meg now dripping wet (and wetting us too when she shook herself off), we carried on our walk

She even indulged in a spot of hide and seek.  Can you see her?

She didn't choose such a good hiding place this time...

I am so pleased that she now seems to be losing her fear of water. It must be when she met Ted the Springer and she started to run through puddles.

Getting more confident in the water is great - have you tried using a ball or stick to entice her?

Looks like a great day Smile

Meg is not remotely interested in retrieving balls or sticks. Sad She will run after a ball, either put her paw on it or mouth it to stop it from rolling, then amble off in the opposite direction. I'm the one who ends up fetching it, so there's no way I'm chucking it in the water!

I'm sure she will be fine in the water with some gentle swimming when she has gained her confidence  Smile
