Karma has met the ocean. We took her to an off-leash beach in San Diego. Like always she is very ball focused and really doesn't care who does the throwing. Since I forgot the "chucker" in the truck, the throws were not going far enough for her. So, she kept asking other humans on the beach with "chuckers" to throw her ball.
If the ball went out on a wave, off she went to retrieve it leaping over wave after wave in pursuit of her "prey." Luckily the water is shallow for a long ways out – but it kinda scared me when she showed no fear. She had been very timid at her pervious prior water exposures (a creek); so this bravery was a surprise.
Even though she has "swum" at her physical therapy sessions following her surgery this spring, she wasn't excited about swiming at the creek. Maybe she's only interested in salt water exercises.
