Memorial Day weekend was upon
us . Jen and I had simply planned more yard
work
Saturday morning I got a call from Jay. He was
proposing he and Aileen come out Sunday for an afternoon
on the lake (Marsh Creek).
Hmmmm. He's calling us the
day before? He's proposing an afternoon of canoeing/kayaking
and dog playing?
We're lame (working too much) and Jen
will totally go for these plans, so it was set.
Sunday they came over with their boat and dog and we
all headed over to Marsh Creek.
Of course I had to get
a shot of the Durango with our boat on top. I swear
this thing will never get used like the abuse I put into it in
the last month.
I really need my car
back.
A quick trip over to the lake and it was
time to unload the boats and dogs. This would be the first
trip for both Gretchen and
Carl.
While getting everything ready, the dogs
remained
calm
.
When Jay put the life jacket on Carl, the
anticipation grew a
bit.
Then it was out into the water. There
were some ladies laughing at us. They'd never seen something
so crazy/cute as dogs with life preservers in
boats.
Shortly after this shot Carl decided it was
pretty crazy and jumped out. Little did he know he was leashed
and floating with the aid of his PFD. He swam a short circle
around the stern and was back in the boat in no
time.
Gretchen did pretty well to the other
side of the lake. She didn't seem to mind it at all till we
got too close to the shore. At that point she realized
she was close enough to get out and get away.
She
didn't try it, but she pretty much whined for
the rest of the trip moving between Jen and me and
the bow of the
boat.
We decided to pull over and let them
play.
Carl is a champ at swimming and playing
fetch in the water. Gretchen - not so
much
