Indy swims again.....!
Coming back from our island cottage, we had alot of trouble docking the boat. The water level has dropped so low that the boat's propellers were getting caught in weed and mud at the marina. The boat was not handling properly and David had a tough time getting it into the slip.
Added to this is we add extra people on the boat, just to add to the confusion.
Our normal routine is straight forward. I jump off, tie up the boat, while David opens up the crate to let the dogs out. Indy always jumps straight off the boat onto the dock by himself - it's usually a jump about 2 feet long by 2.5 feet high.
Well we finally get the boat into the slip - but pulled up from the back of the dock about 3 feet longer than usual. The boat just did not want to move. So the jump is now about 5 feet long by 2.5 feet high.
So, now you have to picture this in slow motion. I'm standing on the dock and finishing tieing up the boat. I glance up and see David unzipping the crate. I shout: "David....don't let the dog out, he'll try to jump and he will...." BIG SPLASH "....miss!
Too late!
Yikes! Dog goes under about 3 feet, bobs back up and gets hauled out by his collar.
Indy is still drying out....4 hours later. And he keeps looking at me funny, like it was my fault or something!
