jump birdie jump

took birdie out on the boat again the other day. wanted to see if i could get her to jump out of the boat and swim. i tried throwing in a few of her dummies and though she acted like she wanted to get them she was not going to jump in. finally i got out of the boat to give her some encouragement. it took a little while but she finally jumped in for me and swam around. she jumped in about 5 times total. we called it a day and went for a joy ride to find some birds to look at. she especially enjoyed the moorhens and all the noise they were making.
