Norma Jean Goes Fishing

Portuguese Water Dogs were used on the fishing boats to carry out various tasks. One of their jobs was to herd fish into the nets. Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny, warm (not hot or humid) day, so Rob turned the hose on to fill the wading pool.



Norma Jean was one of the first ones in the pool.



She likes the spray.



Everyone else had to come see what she was doing.



She paddles in the water. We say she's looking for fish.



She starts paddling faster.



She's very focused on her task.



The others are quite interested in the splashing.





One of the others wants to play, too.







Hey, where did everyone go?


Oh well, let's get back to work.



She would stop and look around, then go back to fishing.









The only way to stop her was to tip the water out of the pool.



Well, what do you expect? I'm a water dog.
