> Hi there. You're a little of her little ideas. To help you. When you go to the pool. Maybe. You would like to take one of her favorite blankets. For her to lay on. That might help her feel secure. And another thing. You might want to take one of her favorite bones. Or one of her favorite toys. I know. When I take these things to the gym. For my dog cadence. That helps her feel very secure. Hope this helps
