Lou,
you seem like a dog who loves adventure!
Running through the desert,
leaping over streams,
hanging from ropes off crazy-high cliffs...
Wait, what?!
Now that's something you don't see every day!
Lou! You've got some guts, pup!
"Good girl!"
'Cause that is really high up.
And that's even higher!
No, no, no, no, no, that's just, nope!
Too high!
Way too high!
Ugh!
At least it looks like you know what you're doing!
Your parents are kind of experts at exploring and climbing canyons, after all.
"Good job, Lou! Woo!"
It's what they love to do.
And when you joined their family,
they knew you would, too.
Oh, jeez, that's high!
Lou, how are you not totally freaking out right now?
You're just like, "Come on up, the view's great!"
It seems like you aren't afraid of any —
"Come on!"
Wait...
You're afraid of
water?
Let's get this straight.
Dangling from a rope hundreds of feet off the ground?
Totally fine.
But jumping into a puddle of water?
That's too much?
Lou, you are just full of surprises.
It shouldn't be a problem though, right?
You don't have to like water in order to climb canyons with your family!
Hmm, unless when you get to the bottom of a canyon,
it's filled with water!
Uh-oh!
But don't worry!
Your family will help you!
"Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming!"
"Are you swimming, Lou-Lou?"
It's not like you were born knowing how to climb canyons
and hang from ropes!
You had to learn!
It took time!
But your confidence grew and grew.
So, let the water lessons begin!
Lesson one: Stare at the water and let it know who's boss.
Be like, "I'm Lou, and I'm not afraid of you."
Good job, Lou!
Lesson two:
walking through water.
See? You got this.
Lesson three:
Learn to doggie paddle.
"Good girl!"
"Oh, good girl!"
"Good girl!"
All right, Lou,
time for the final test:
being lowered into a canyon that's filled with water
and swimming out.
You did it, Lou!
And guess what!
You get to do it again!
Or not.
You are happy to see dry land, aren't you?
Roll around in that dry, dry dirt like there is no tomorrow.
Maybe one day you'll love water just as much as —
Oh! That was quick!
"That's such good swimming!"
So, what now, Lou?
Where's the next canyon to explore
or next crazy-high cliff to hang from?
Guess it doesn't really matter.
As long as you're with the ones who love you most,
you can go anywhere
and do anything!
