An Important Safety Message From Chilli
March Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Pet People”
Safety First. Swim between the flags.
From the day my husband and I brought Chilli home, she’s been a scaredy-cat. Loud noises were problematic, and the vacuum was worse than a monster under the bed.
Even the other puppies at Puppy School scared Chilli, so she ran to a hidden nook for safety. We took her down to the river for a paddle, which she loved, but then a boat raced past and created not a wave but a ripple. The ripple was too much to cope with.
So home we came, with a clamshell pool in tow.
There’s nothing better than a good paddle on a hot day. But if you’re going to be safe, you’ve got to do things right. Chilli has her own flags to swim between, and I do double duty as a lifeguard if she gets in “deep water.”
