Roxy had her second swim lesson...she did much better this time around. She didn't panic at the beginning for as long and Rachel felt she was swimming stronger 
Here are a couple of video's to enjoy...
Cheers.

Swimming is great therapy. We didn't have rehab facilities close to us. I would have loved to have had Trouble swimming.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Roxy this time around you look like a pro. I love these videos, they always make me smile. Good to see that Roxy is doing so well. Have a great weekend. Big hugs to you Roxy.
