Jungle Dog Goes for "Short" Swim

Jungle Dog

"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water."  Most of us associate those words with Jaws II (well most of us who are old enough to remember it.)  But Poko seems doggedly determined to risk it. 

When we posted about Poko's ungraceful dive into the pond a few days ago, I could not get to the camera fast enough.  While cleaning up from dinner tonight, though, I glanced out the dining room window and there he was again.  After watching a few moments, it was clear that he could SEE his own reflection.

"How did I get wet?"

"Grrrrr.  Who IS that Dog?"

After swatting at it a couple times, while balanced on some lava stones, he ended up falling in again.  He scrambled out and seemed surprised to again find himself all wet -- except for the ears.  We suspect he will figure it all out soon.

Of course, silly parents that we are, we BOUGHT him a wading pond, but will he use that?!?  Oh NO!
