It was 40 degrees at the park this morning. There were ducks at the park swimming in the water hole created by the spring thaw. Makin heard the ducks from about 100 yards away. She took off, and as she hit the edge of the water she took a leap, landing deep in the water. Tessa then realized what was going on and and ran around the hole to where the ducks were trying to exit. Makin swam across the hole and Tessa tries to intercept the ducks. She came within a few inches of catching one. The hunt was then on for the rest of the morning. Towards the end of the walk Makin found the ducks swimming in a smaller water hole. This time she stalked and pointed. The ducks were a little smarter this time and took off as soon as they saw her. It is funny that Makin hates going out in the rain and will not swim unless there is something to go after. She loves birds but bugs swimming in the water are just as exciting! Momo, one of Makin's puppies apparently hates the water. I guess this is one trait Makin failed to pass along!

I wuf the water. As long as its a decent temperature I'm IN IT! As for the rain, it sucks! Don't like to go out to do my business in the rain. But mom/dad will put a coat on me and walk me in the rain.
Neil: small correction: Momo only gets as wet as he absolutely has to. Having said that, we did marvel at him wading chest deep to try and get a good sniff on some padling ducks at the lighthouse. So maybe he's just like his mom after all.

Andrew: I guess they are simililar in this way as well. Makin will only get wet if it is required to achieve her goal! Ducks fit the bill.
