But all of a sudden a really interesting, delightfully large stick came speeding along on the current and Penny wanted it.
She followed it along the high bank, looking down and wondering if she could jump that far. And I followed her, hoping she wouldn't do so, but interested to see what she would do about the problem.
But then the stick upped the ante by drifting into a dangerous clump of branches sticking out of the water and Penny began to gather her legs under her, preparing to leap.
It was time for intervention. So I hurried back to a safer entry spot and threw another stick in (a little one was all I could find) and - thank Dog - Penny ran towards me and jumped in to get it.
It must have been a good one, because she carried it all the way back to the car.

Thank goodness that Penny recognized "discretion is the better part of valor." She looks so triumphant in that last photo!

Penny - that must have been a wonderful stick!

Stewey, I guess we'll never know just how good it might have been...
Curator, thank goodness she isn't overly valorous!
Kari, I must admit I was a little worried.
I'm glad Penny is safe and went after the little stick instead. I was beginning to worry the big stick was a snake.
Lassiter Chase, it did look a bit like a snake in the photo but not in real life. Thank goodness.
