Wild Child

Our Elder Dog (14) Maica loves to nose around the pond. We watch her carefully especially when she's near the water. She has never fallen in and the pond is only a couple of feet deep but...she's definitely not a swimmer. I tried to teach her in the shallow end of a neighbor's pool when she was a youngster, she immediately sank to the bottom and I had to jump in to save  her. She prefers to keep her paws on Terra firma.
