Swimming with Hestia on the side 1


Picture of Hestia sitting on the pool deck with her blue pop up crate in the background.  She has a bully stick underneath her, and is leashed to the ladder.  You can see my town in the edge of the pic.

Today Hestia and I went to water aerobics at the local Y.  This was my first time bringing her without Brad to manage her.  I set up her pop up crate and leashed her to a pole, and gave her a bully stick to chew.

She did great!  Not a single peep out of her!  For the first part of the class where we walk across the pool doing different exercises, I only went halfway across the pool.  A couple times I tested it and went all the way across, but I didn’t want to push my luck on our first visit alone.  Hestia didn’t care and just chewed on her bully stick.

Everyone at water aerobics thought she was super cute and well behaved 🙂  The second half hour of class, Hestia started to want to come out of her crate and watch me.  So I let her, and she plopped herself down with the bully stick outside of her crate and flumped over.  It was very cute!  So proud of my girl!

At the pool side area, a pop up blue crate with a rainbow leash attached to the ladder, and my purse and towel on the floor in front.
