Introducing.....Freight Train

Amy decided she needed some exercise and was going to walk to the river.  I said to take Bennett or Melanie, she shouldn't go alone.

Bennett wouldn't leave my side, but Melanie was up and ready.  We both thought Melanie would go about 5 feet and realize Bennett wasn't with her and then stop.  Nope.

Amy said that Melanie needed some prodding, but as soon as they hit the gate into the park, Melanie took off like a bullet.  Amy was being dragged ~ and since there was still alot of snow and ice on the path, there was slippage.  And, Amy was wearing running shoes so she didn't have alot of traction.  

Amy said Melanie pulled all the way to the river and JUMPED IN!!!!!!!!!!

Getting out of the river

When they got home, Amy was sweating ~ she had never seen Melanie do that before and decided that Melanie should be called "Freight Train".  

Currently, Freight Train is at the foot of my bed.  Exhausted.  We will see if she will do that again. 

Love, Leslie
