Sadie meets the water

Two weeks ago, Susan and I took Sadie for a walk down to the Farmington River. We wanted her to splash around and go for a swim. She's a Labrador after all.

Well she wasn't too sure about the water. She went to the edge, drank a little water, dipped her toe in and flopped around on the muddy bank. Didn't even chase the people in the canoe drifting by. Maybe she'll grow into it eventually.

The picture attached is of the old bridge over the Farmington River, that serves only foot traffic now. Volunteers from the community maintain the flowers and plants that you see. We needed to cross the bridge to get to a place where we could easily descend the bank.

More to come soon.
