Mysterious Creature Of The Deep

June 17, 2015 //  by Pamela

Scotland has Nessie. The Chesapeake Bay has Chessie.

We recently discovered our own little monster in the Assawoman Bay. If we can convince anyone she exists, should we call her “Assie?”

Call the Mythbusters. See if there are any Sasquatch searchers with boats. Offer a reward for clear evidence of a swimming creature in the Assawoman Bay in the DelMarVa peninsula.

You might think the mysterious creature bears a remarkable resemblance to Honey the golden retriever. But Honey doesn’t swim.

Or does she?

Honey the golden retriever winks.
I’ll never tell.

Has your dog ever surprised you by learning something new as an adult?

    I’ve always thought that dogs were born knowing how to swim. Some just don’t want to.

    This is quite a mystery to solve. I have a feeling Honey taught herself how to swim.

    Old(er) dogs can learn new tricks! The wink is perfect.

    Wilhelm was five when he jumped into a tide pool next to us during a leashed beach hike. At first I freaked out because I thought he had fallen in but he swam in a few adorable little circles then hopped back out. He has been a swimming dachshund ever since!

    Usually I learn stuff mom doesn’t want me to learn, but adult dogs do still learn.

    Most all dogs swim ( a few of those really tank like breeds might not do too well), but not all dogs like to. There’s a big difference!

    Awesome!! I was a little worried about her not liking or wanting to swim as your new life sets sail. Give her a big hug from me!! 🙂

    I can’t believe Honey did not like to swim before! Our Goldens would live in the water if they could! So glad that she is enjoying it now!

    Maybe she decided swimming was better than baking in the Southern heat.
