The fishing expedition

Danny likes to chase anything small that moves. Balls, birds, fingers, toes are all fair game.

He's also one curious little bugger. Everyday when Rhoda makes her rounds about the garden, he'll tag along. It's hard to predict where he'll be, so this often means he gets watered along with the plants.

One morning though, he peeked over a small ledge, discovered the garden's tiny pond and spotted it's even tinier goldfish. They move about in a clumsy fashion which allows light to shine off them as they half waddle half swim.

It was a dream come true.

It only took a second for his brain to process before he leapt off the ledge and got an unexpected mouthful of water. Rhoda eventually found him mournfully treading water and fished him out.

Needless to say, the goldfish darted off and Danny got nothing for his trouble except a load of wet fur and his first swimming lesson.

Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

That is so fun. Having a cute puppy that is willing to try anything.

Ya, he's cute. Really curious about everything! But it also means having to watch him like a hawk every time! :D
