Dixie: water-shy or not?

The other day we went to a playdate where they had a "kiddie pool" set up 
for their dogs to cool off in. Their poodles loved it.
No way that Dixie (11mnth) would set a foot in that!
Today we went and tried the "real water" at a small lake near the beach. 
 Dixie testing the water. UH-OH waves!
Shall I go in there?
Uhm, maybe NOT!
Peter tried to convince her. 
I had to take off my shoes and wade into the unknown territory before Dixie followed.
 A little unsure at first but then she actually enjoyed the new experience.
Unfortunately it was not documented that she "zoomed" around into the grassy area after the first try, as if to say: YEAH! I DID IT! Then taking heart again, running and jumping
right into the water as if she had done that a thousand times already!
We had a good laugh. What fun she had!
Now our sitting room is full of sand.
Summer's delight.

For ein paar Tagen haben wir die Nachbarhunde besucht. Sie hatten ein Kinderplanschbecken um sich abzukühlen. Keine 10 Pferde haben Dixie in das Planschbecken gebracht.
Heute sind wir dann mal zu einem "echten Wasser" gegangen; einem nahegelegenen kleinen See.
Zuerst war sie sehr skeptisch. Da waren "Wellen", au weia!
Aber als ich mir die Hosen hochkrempelte und selbst ins Wasser stieg hat sie sich getraut. 
Anschliessend ist sie wie verrückt im Grass herumgerast und dann mit Anlauf 
ins Wasser gesprungen. Leider haben wir davon kein Photo.
Aber es hat ihr doch sehr viel Spass gemacht.
Nun ist unser Wohnzimmer voller Sand.
 Sommerspass!
