One thing I have noticed is that she has a fear of water.  She will avoid the side of the sidewalk where someones lawn sprinklers are on.  She will walk around a puddle on the sidewalk.  She will do her best to avoid any lawn sprinkler anywhere.  Last night we walked down to the local park where there is a lake.  Much to my surprise, she is really not scared of water when it is on her terms.  <\/p>\n<p>All one needs to do is provide a simple experiment.
