The Floozy

This is Tessa, "The Floozy".
We walked along the Stratford-Birmingham canal this afternoon, on the section from Wootton Wawen to Claverdon and back again.
This dog (called Tessa we found out from her pet man) was determined to show off her superior swimming skills to our two boys. Her skills must be superior as our two can't swim. Well, actually they probably could if we threw them in, (as we did with our son when he was a few weeks old - but not into the canal I must add) but they refuse to go into water much past their knees.
She was in and out of the water several times, and then disappeared into the distance along with her trained stick thrower. 
The water really was this colour by the way - it's the reflection from the greenery all around.
