Greta loves fishing and she loves going for rides and she loves the beach. So, my bf went fishing last Sunday and asked if he could take her along. I said, "Sure, but she's a handful when you have a bite!" (Especially since he was on a raft!)
So, he puts the raft in the water next to the dock...the same dock in the photo in the current Avatar (when this was posted.) She is supposed to "STAY" while he goes back to the Jeep to get more stuff.
Well, he looks up while he is unloading and there is Greta, still halfway in the raft - her front paws are on the dock while her hindquarters are still in the raft. To make matters worse, the raft is slowly drifting away from the dog. As this happens Greta stands with a forlorn look on her face, her body stretching out further and further until she falls headfirst off the raft and disappears under the dock.
My bf said he was worried because she did not surface immediately, but when she did she had sand all over her face.
When the fishing was over that evening Greta did not want to get out of the raft and onto the dock...I think he had to carry her.
Learned her lesson, I'd say.
When my bf caught fish he said the first thing to go was the coffee, then the tackle box, because Greta is like a soccer fan and on a little raft, well...you can imagine.
