Your Pet's Story or Bio / What Makes Them Unique
We like kayaking in the lakes in north Meck. Two weeks after we got Pepper, we took her to the lake to let her swim. She hated it. After three or four trips she was still uncomfortable around the water. This summer, we came upon a family with five labs playing in Mountain Island Lake. Pepper watched those dogs and eventually joined in. Since then, Pepper prefers swimming beside our kayaks instead of riding in it. As soon as we put her in the kayak, she jumps back in the water.
