Sita To The Rescue!


Recommended Posts

I had some experiences with Sita that I feel moved to share here.

 

Sita is very much her own dog, and it seems like she loves everybody. We've gotten closer and closer over time, and this last week I was shown just how important I am to her in a way that melted my heart.

 

She is an able, if not particularly enthusiastic swimmer. Mostly she likes to splash around where she can stand in water, but she has been willing to swim across a river if that is the way we are hiking together. She does not swim for fun, not yet.

 

I was at a local swimming hole on the Mad River twice this week, and both times when I was in the water Sita would be pacing on the bank, clearly uncomfortable with me being fully submerged. When I would come to the bank, she would run away from the river and motion for me to join her, like, "Get away from that water you are scaring me!"

 

3 times I swam for a long way underwater without coming up, happily frog kicking my way across the pool...and every time I did this, I would surface to see Sita swimming as fast as she could out into the water towards where I surfaced...she was coming to save me! As soon as my head would pop up, she would head straight back for the shore, relieved. I am feeling so loved and protected...Kim said once that these dogs would, if treated right, possibly give their lives for you. What Sita was going to do with her 30 pound self to help me, I don't think she knew, but what I know is that she would have done all she could to make sure I was okay, and that means a whole heck of a lot.

 

Feeling awed and grateful about my little treasure of an AI dog

Great experience Sri. You and Sitka have come along way in understanding each other. I remember some of your concern in your early posts. So happy that your bonds with each other are so strong.

These dogs are truly amazing. :wub:

How amazing these AI dogs are...what a wonderful experience and there are no words to express the gratitude of such a bond!

 

I already see that bond with Wyot....so far, with his off leash experiences, he always checks back to see where we are. I fell in the snow, and he came right to me to make sure I was ok! On leash, we have stairs to go up to the upper part of our property...and they can be slippery. He feels I am cautious and he stops mid way and waits to see if I am ok and when he sees I keep going, he goes slowly!!!! :):wub:
