Proper swimming

You may remember that Isla was less than enthusiastic when she first met water, but she's grown up a lot during the last two months.  Harriet and I took her for a walk at Wimpole Hall this afternoon, and a couple of other dogs were having great fun swimming in one of the lakes.  Needless to say Isla didn't want to be left out, so we decided to see how she would cope on this occasion.  We needn't have worried, though - even when the water became significantly deeper than she expected and proper swimming was the order of the day.

 

I'm a big girl now...

 

The swans, thankfully, were protected by a raft of water lilies.

We'd like to go swimming again, please...
