We went on a group dog walk today at Yeovil Country Park with Sophie and Moss, plus my friend Mandy and her dogs Blue and Thomas. At the walk, we met up with Liz and her hubby and her 2 dogs, Jake and Tess, who we've never met before.
Only yesterday, I was saying to Mandy that I would like to get Bran to a point where he voluntarily swims rather than just looking at me, sighing and resigning himself to having to go in.
On the walk today, there were a few wonderful pools, but they were quite deep and the edges were quite difficult for the dogs to get out on. The water wasn't clear, so the dogs couldn't see how deep it was.
As I watched Liz's fabulous dogs leap into the water after balls, I hadn't noticed that Bran had just got in! I was rather gobsmacked, especially when he came back, couldn't get out and had to be dragged out by his collar.
He promptly turned around and went back in again! He did it again and again and again so was clearly enjoying himself.
He enjoyed the whole walk so much that every time we stopped still for a moment, he would do his excited dancing and bouncing on the spot and give me great big kisses.
It is just lovely to see the confidence ooooooooooozing out of him now :o)
