Ella Swims

     We have tried to lead a dog to water...but you can't make her swim.  Until this time.  She saw the water and went right in.  She must've received the memo.  I stood there watching her paddle through the pond all while trying to bite at the water droplets that she was creating in the air in front of her.  It was an odd moment.  I had to connect it to the feeling you have with a child.  Sometimes they tell you when they are ready.  I guess it is our job to make sure they know they should try.
