It's taken about almost a year to teach this dog to play - she started figuring it out after we started taking her to the park and dog parks so she could watch other dogs play. At first she would look up at us like, "What's up with them?"
Then she would run after sticks but that was all. After watching the other dogs she figured out the dog thing to do was to pick them up, so she got that. But she apparently felt she was a hunter, not a retriever. This week we got her to pick them up and shes now going into the water to get them. Then she would run away with them. But tonight she would bring them to us and tonight was the first night she actually swam for the first time - but only for the big stick. I think it empowers her. : )
She was a rescue and badly abused, so she's really come a long way. She still is very shy with strangers but is getting better. It's been a wonderful transformation to watch her learning dog stuff, though.

This was the stairway up to the Fire Tower at Bernheim Forest. It was not difficult at all - Pancake pulled me up much like a ski tow. We followed a Mom and her little 5 year old daughter up so we knew we shouldn't have a problem. It is so beautiful here.
History
Isaac W. Bernheim established Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest in 1929. I. W. Bernheim (1848-1945) was a German immigrant who settled in Kentucky. From a humble beginning as a peddler, he became successful in the whiskey distilling business where he established the I.W. Harper brand. Grateful for his good fortune, he gave Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest to the people of Kentucky as a gift.

That vintage feel of evening shuttering the doors with steam blowing across the body of a person passing by those unopened doors of this empty university while online advertisements ring in my ears of graduation incentives.

The Crowned Lapwing prefers dry, open habitats, either with or without scattered trees. It has benefited from the habitat impacts of both affluent and poor communities; golf courses, sports fields and airports, on one hand, and overgrazing on the other. In some areas, the presence of Crowned Plovers is an indicator of mismanagement of ranchlands. In South Africa, Crowned Plovers move locally in response to changing conditions. Crowned Plovers, like many of the wader species breeding in South Africa, have a long breeding season, often starting in August and ending in May. In addition, a pair may have more than one successful breeding attempt. If nests or chicks are lost, further attempts to breed may occur. They lay two eggs in a scrape in the sand, lined with vegetation or small pebbles. The eggs take about a month to hatch and the chicks between four and five weeks to fledge.
