I had a rather eventful evening yesterday. First & foremost, I passed all my exams. I now have a degree. I can't believe it. I'm so happy. Happy isn't the right word - "elated" maybe?
Also, went out a lovely walk along the canal last night with Malibu & her two very boisterous Springer Spaniels. We walked about 2 miles & everything was great until the pup decided it was a good idea to jump off the embankment into the canal, but he couldn't get back out. He was paddling in the water asking us with pleading eyes to help him, but no no matter how much we tried we couldn't reach his collar to pull him out. He began to panic, so we coaxed him along to a lower area on the embankment. I am stronger than Malibu, so I said i'd get him. Leaning over the side, I almost lost my balance & toppled into the canal. Now that would have been hilarious. The worst was yet to come. We coaxed the dog a little further along the canal, but the oldest of the dogs (the father) knew the pup was in trouble, so he dived in to help, but then he was trapped too. I had to ease my way down the embankment, my feet actually in the water, reach as far as was possible & coax the dogs to come to me. I managed to catch hold of the oldest dog's collar & yank him out, using all the strength I had in me, then I got hold of the lttle one & pulled him to safety. As the two dogs ran easily up the embankment, unscathed by the whole event, they decided to shake the water off their coats, BUT at the same time, give me a bath. I was left more traumatised than the dogs. All Malibu could do was giggle.
Rather an eventful evening - I get my degree & I'm a hero. All in all, a good night I think.
