Grandma and I took the dogs to Ellicott Creek Park in Tonawanda, NY today. There are always a ton of geese there and Rigby loves to run at them full speed until they jump in the water.

Usually, she stops and protects "her" shoreline, but today she was feeling a little more adventurous.

My dog who REFUSES to swim in the pool with us dove headfirst into the dirty creek to swim at the ducks and geese. Such a little lady. (Mr. Butters stood by, took a poop, then watched her from a safe distance.)

"You just wait, goosessess, I'm coming for you!!!"

IN THE WATER!!!! (At this point, I could barely snap the picture- I was feeling mixed emotions- surprise and fear being two of them!)

It was easy enough to drag her back to land with my weenieinthewindow harness (plug for Alison). She didn't even stop staring at them as she shook off!

Videos:

The one is "squirrel hunting" and the other one I'd like to call, "FISHING FOR RIGBY." You'll see why.

Great pictures, I especially like the one toward the end on the rocks.

I can't do video because of SLOW dial up, so I really appreciate pictures

Yeah! I was thinking that too!


I had to laugh at the second video where you are taping Rigby and running with her as If you were catching a thief or something :rotfl: :rotfl:
Especially when you said "Let's go! Let's get him!" :lol:

Oh, she's a silent hunter! Except with squirrels- she squeals and cries and carries on over them. Her true enemies.
