Don’t let your dog near a Wier . .

Went to the Irwell Valley today to see a our friend Nicola and it was such a nice day we decided to all take a bit of a hike along the top of the valley, video below.

Part of this hike meant we had to cross a small weir across the river, well all was going well until Blue lost her footing and went over the edge, believe me you have never seen 3 people move so quickly, anyway to cut a long story short after much time trying to grab Blue, she managed to swim towards the shore where I’d started to wade in to get her.

We caught her falling in on the footage below.

God I have never been so scared/worried in my life as when she went over and she was looking up at us trying to get back onto the wier not realising that the water would just push her under again.

Thankfully she was’nt fazed by it all and was quite perky when she got out and just wanted to fuss us all.

I however now have the beginnings of a very swollen ankle through slipping on some rocks while trying to pull her out.

Anyway we now know she can swim, though it was’nt the best way to find out.
