On one of our recent trips we stopped by a lake to take Teddy for a walk.
It was a crisp Fall day and the colors were starting to show on the trees.
The lake was exceptionally low do to the drought we've experienced.
We arrived quite early in the morning and the water was very cold.
I know my long time followers are rather familiar with what a pip Teddy is.
She doesn't get any less pippy with age.
Chow Chows usually do not like water. They are quirky when it comes to water. If there is the slightest bit of dew on the ground they will not set a paw out of the house on it.
But large bodies of water have a magnetic attraction to Teddy. The colder the better.
And once she goes in it is nearly impossible to coax her back out.
She totally pretends to not hear a word you are saying. Teddy has selective hearing.
Who me? You Talkin' to me?
I can't hear a word you are saying.
No, I am not ready to come out of the water yet.
In fact, I don't even know the person at the end of my leash.
Teddy always tries to shake the water off while she is still in said water.
It's as if she wants to be in the water but still stay dry.
Mmmm...this water tastes good.
And I am still not ready to come out.
I think I will just drink the whole lake.
Tugging is never a good thing to do to a chow.
They just don't tug.
What do you think I am fishing for using this bait?
The only reason you see this very reluctant departure is because I handed the leash over to the Blog Tech and I got in the car and drove away.
Mama....don't leave me.
Come back mama...come back.

Teddy is SO FUNNY and ADORABLE.
I laughed out loud over the photo about fishing with her as bait!
This is SO CUTE!
Thanks Teddy! for putting a BIG smile on my face today!

By the way, did You ever find out what was wrong with her when she got sick? I´ve been meaning to ask that a long time now. I´ve also been meaning to tell You that I love the Salem house here in Your blog :-)
Have a great day now!
