Close Call with Cyra

Had a very close call with my little female yesterday. We had scent (through an air pump device which forces are over a scent object, and through a tube to an aquarium stone) about 20 feet out in the water and 8 feet under - she found the scent source where she is supposed to circle and I threw the ball in the middle of the scent. She saw a much bigger marker buoy nearby and went for it.

Got tangled in the line, went all the way under, popped up twice(nose only) - I had just got my boots off to go in when she broke free - halfway back to shore she turned around because she forgot the big white ball on the rope (the buoy) and started back to it. I had to really holler at her NOT to go back for the thing and get tangled again. Threw a hot dog in my pocket at the lowly tennis ball in the water that she was supposed to get and got her back on course.
