There’s more to the story of Lexi deciding not to swim with me yesterday.
h3. About Today’s Show
I followed on today with my curiosity when Lexi refuses to go in the water and swim with me. I think it is because she simply prefers to chase her ball. But, it does remind me of a woman on Maui who swam every morning, with her dog. Until one morning when she was eaten by a tiger shark. Strangely, her dog would not go in the water that morning.
Sharks get a bad rap in my opinion. Here in Hawai’i, they are respected and loved, though declining in numbers.
You can see (or buy) the BBC documentary about tiger sharks.
