    Sam has been getting into the swimming lark more and more recently, but still hesitates for a few momentss before being brave .
    Well , Millie has changed all that :) We have discovered that she adores swimming and for her size, is a strong swimmer too and my goodness, its had a positive effect on the big lad :)
    Millie is still on a very long training line as its not yet a full five days, but I do occasionally drop the end , sausages seem to be having a positive effect on her .
    I do however keep hold of one end when she plunges into the river as there are cattle on the other side, some with calves .
    So now, the scenario , ball lobbed well in and in they both go ,no hesitation now for Sam , he always beats her to it but she gives him a run for his money and has done his confidence a power of good :)

    It sounds just fantastic. This was one of those 'meant to be' situations you hear of. Lovely.

    Millie is doing great, it sounds like! Must be a relief so far that everything has gone so well.
