During Thanksgiving vacation, Kylee came bounding into the house..."MOM!! Coco climbed the ladder!!" (remember, she's got Apraxia, so that all came out without many consonants)...My head whipped around, took inventory of Kylee's facial expression to see if there was a kernel of truth to this exclamation...wasn't sure.
"Great! Let me know if she does it again," I said as I returned to my task at hand.
A few minutes passed, and this time, Ashlynn came in the back door with a "WHAM". "MOM....MOM!!! Coco really DID climb the ladder!!"
Away we all flew to the back yard with video camera in hand to see with our own eyes, that indeed Coco was doing her own agility training, by climbing the playground ladder over and over.
Who knew that our sweet, chew happy one year old black lab could keep up with the kids...all the way up the ladder!!
There's a few things that Coco does that drives me nuts...(like shedding and chewing everything)...but her willingness to play with the kids makes up for that 10 fold.
OK....so if we open the front door, the first thing Coco does is run away....but what's more important anyway? Staying in the house? OR CLIMBING THE LADDER???
