Oops

I wasn't going to tell anyone about what I'm about to tell you because at the time it wasn't funny, but now that a few days have gone by, it's kind of funny..kind of.

So the other day I took the dogs to the creek to play. It's be BEAUTIFUL here in Central AR, Perfect weather!! So I was playing fetch with Birdie. She loves being in the water so I was throwing a stick into the deepest part of the creek while standing on the banks in front of a steep 1 foot drop off into the 4 water.

After watching the dog jumping contests on TV earlier that week I was determined to teach Birdie how to dive into the water. She didn't like the idea too much and would run around to where the water became shallow and walk out into the deep water, then swim to the stick. I wanted her to leap into the water like the TV dogs!

I decided I would get close to the water's edge and get her really excited by getting excited myself. My thinking was that she would get so excited that she's just jump right in. Well I got so excited I lost my balance and fell into the creek, it was about three feet deep, and it would've have been that bad if I was dressed in t-shirt and shorts, but no I had on my work clothes, jewelry, and my cowboy boots (No I didn't wear them to work, just to the creek) I didn't just like fall in and catch my balance, I went all the way under. I was soaked from head to toe. Birdie ran around to the shallow end and walked/swam out to me really excited that I was going to play. I looked around to make sure no one was watching...like anyone could've seen me in the pasture anyway. But It was embarrassing. I jumped out of the water quickly, dumped the water out of my boots and ran home and showered.

I won't get that close to the water again needless to say.
