Elizabeth77 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Well this is the only place I think may understand my pleasure today. For months I have been taking Meg to the sea and while she would paddle and put her head under water there was no sign of swimming. BUT today it happened. I was throwing a plastic bottle for her and yes she swam. It was so funny Meg not quite knowing how to dogs paddle and doing a doggy butterfly stroke instead but she went well out of her depth and always got the bottle. I was like a maniac on the shore shouting encouragement with a big grin on my face. Luckily it was raining and there was nobody else about. I have wanted her to do this for a long time and am so glad I took it gently with her until she was ready. So now she can excercise in the water which I think will be so good for her as she gets older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc4ever Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 That's great. I can feel the excitement in your words and could just picture you jumping around and shouting in the rain, just the two of you, celebrating a special moment.
