Wet behind the ears...

Muffin caught her very first fish today on a piece of ham.  It was a small bream ("brim" as we always called them).  There were squeals of delight from both Muffin and Peanut.  She was very proud of herself as I snapped this picture.

Note:  This picture was taken approximately 5 minutes before Muffin stepped over the water's edge and went all the way to the bottom.  I pulled her out almost as quickly as she went in, but she was completely soaked.  She was wearing a sweater and a heavy coat and her new shoes.  It was a cool day (in the 50's) with a breeze.  Needless to say, it was a very cold and fast paced walk back home to a warm bath.

Peanut pulled two fish out of the water but they both fell off of the hook before we could grab them.  The first one got off by itself.  The second one fell off due to Peanut's vigorous agitation of the fishing pole.
