We have been trying to encourage Tootsie our Chocolate Lab puppy to swim for a few weeks. Every time we go to the river, she loves to play in it, but she just won't go fetch a stick if it means having to swim for it. Don't know the reason for this......low self esteem?? :-) Anyway, Gabby picked her up Saturday during our visit to the river, and lowered her down into the water, and let go, and Voila ! she swam back to the shore. This was repeated about 5 times much to our delight and Tootsie's excitement. You can see Marny cheering her on, and Gabby setting her free, and of course Tootsie doing her best. We were so excited to see her do what we know she will enjoy so much all summer. The water was cold but Gabby sacrificed her comfort to give this gift to Tootsie and the rest of us. Thank you Gabby, you helped make a wonderful memory !!!!
