Think we all have water stories. I had a TB I was training. Decided we were
going to encourage his drinking in this lake if it took a showdown. Kept
urging him on, anticipating the spin & flight response. Instead this 16'3"
TB with feet like mixing bowls plopped a foot into a very shallow part of the
lake, freaked with it splashed and rather than spin and run, lunged in one
jump about 15' into the lake, then spun and ran (after depositing me in the
lake). That lunge tore my rotator cup as well as drenched me thoroughly
(Crisp Oct day too). My husband thought it was pretty funny. (I didn't
realize I tore anything til days later, just knew I hurt, but when don't I).
Funny thing, when I dragged myself out he was still standing in the water,
drinking...
