Doggy Paddling...

On November 21, Veronica and I were in for quite a shock when Kati stepped onto what she must have thought was solid ground but ended up in a canal covered in algae instead while attempting to chase a cat; this was extra surprising as she rarely chases cats. We both just stood there frozen yet laughing as she swam across the canal.

Veronica ran around the end of the canal to help Kati out, while I stayed on the original side in case she swam back. It took three tries, but just before a neighbor and Veronica reached her, Kati managed to pull herself out of the canal. All these years we’d wondered what would happen if she fell in, but it never dawned on us that she'd try to walk on water. 

When she got out she was cold and covered in algae, so as soon as we got home she earned herself a bath and then a cuddle on the couch with Veronica.
