From time to time fishing, I would see fishing boats with dogs aboard and think, that would be pretty cool to have your best friend with you while attempting to catch the big one. Well, Bird unfortunately is not going to be one of those dogs. I went to Crystal Lake the morning of the 4th with her in tow, launched the boat into the water, parked the truck, brought her aboard the boat and....overboard she jumped and into the water she went. We didn't even make it out of the boat launch area. The glass half full perspective; she can swim like a champ! I ended up dropping her back home and went out solo.
Maybe mountain biking will be her specialty but with her penchant for getting distracted when a shiny object is presented during walks and stopping for 10 minutes to chew on them, I'm not too optimistic.

friend Jill C. gave me this lifeguard vest but minutes (seconds) after this photo was taken, it became a chew toy as shown below - one of her favorite toys to chew on now |
