I took Dove to the Yankee Chapter clinic about a week ago and we put her on a duck search.  It's something she hadn't done in a while.  She was six weeks pregnant and really starting to show.



I was a little nervous about it, but she's like an elephant in that she never forgets.  So after a bit of pottering on shore, she broke out into a pretty good search.  She rode a little low in the water due to her "condition."



After about fifteen minutes, she came up with the duck and I gave her an atta-girl to remind her to bring the duck my way, which she did.



When she got to the shore, she stopped.  "Oh, no," I thought as she took a pee.  But she never set the duck down.



Now will she just hand it to me, or will this be work?  She just handed it to me, but she was thinking about being a pain in the butt.  It's in her nature.



Overall, if I was judging the thing, I'd have given her a 3 for the search and a 4 for the retrieve.  She didn't get down the cove or out to the point, which I'd have preferred.  I hope when I'm six months pregnant, I can swim this well.
