E-venture with Emma

I thought most of the Emma excitement stories were winding to an end, but I was wrong.
We have just progressed to going outside without a leash again. Emma runs around and comes bounding to me for a pet and a treat. It’s going great! I stroll by Lake Robin. Emma goes down the short bank. I think “Oh that’s nice, she’ll get a drink.
SPLAT! SPLASH!
I look and Emma had leaped into the water. Her legs are submerged. Her belly is in the water! It’s 36 degrees!
I scream EMMA! Emma looks around like she has entered into a different world. She has no idea that a dog body can be in a lake!
I scream and run to her. I yell, “Emma, Emma, Emma!”
Emma comes back into the present and starts moving toward the bank. Her back leg tries to lift out of the water, like she is wearing a boot. She manages to walk to the dirt and heaves herself up on dry land again.
I’m worried that she will freeze to death in the next minute.
I run to the house with Emma and Sulley.
She lived!
I recovered from my Emma heart attack as I dried her off.
