Well, I decided to name her Kate as in Katy bar the door. She sure sits funny.


I've been walking in mid calf to knee deep water in the pond, and letting her walk in as deep as she wants (or doesn't). When I run the trot line, I leave her on shore and go out in the boat. Today I'm in the middle of the pond, and I hear a splash by shore. I turn around and see her about half way from shore swimming to the boat. I wish I had a camera, all I could see was a nose, 2 eyes, a bit of the top of her head and both her ears sticking out to the sides like outriggers. She swam the 100 or so feet pretty quickly, and I hoisted her up in to the boat by the scruff of the neck. She shook off the water and acted as if she did this every day.

She's a water dog now! grin

She helped (or hindered) taking 2 CC off of the trotline, and acted as if she has been in the boat numerous times. I've only had her in it once before.
