Pups first swimming lesson

So we finally got a life jacket for Jessie. Joel found a nice place on the river about ten minutes away from the apartment. The river is low right now so there was plenty of spots for Jess to splash around in on her own. After a bit we both got in the water with her. Joel at one point grabbed the handle on her vest and swung her out into slightly deeper water. She paddled toward the shore and coughed up water but she kept walking back over to him. Today we went back and we tried to show her how to keep her head up so she wouldn't get so much water up her nose. She did better today, I think she just needs to get some confidence in her swimming and then we probably won't be able to get her to come back to us :)
