This is roughly the height of water Ninja is comfortable with… cooling down paws in fresh water feels good… but as soon as it reaches the ankles, Ninja becomes prefers to steer for the shore , haha.
I guess there are this kind of dogs that can’t wait to dive into the water and swim like a shark and then there are the Ninja-types… that approach water carefully, like to take a sip but generally avoid water. Yes, we practiced and trained…. I know if he has to he will swim, but I doubt he will ever really like it.
That doesn’t stop us from spending time at the river, so we have spent half the say at the riverside in Heidenfahrt. Usually I avoid places with people – no, Ninja is fine with dogs and people, I prefer solitude – , but during the week there aren’t many people around so it is “fine”.
It is about 18km to hike this area, but it is totally worth it. At Budenheim, where we usually are, the floodplains are untouched, overgrown almost wild… the shore is secured by “large square rocks” from erosion, while behind Heidenfahrt the riverside becomes open with shallow sandy areas.
I’d probably go there more often if it was not so far “just for a daily walk”. So these moments are treasured and special… Ninja values them as much as I do.
I guess we are really lucky to live here.
