Admiral Goes to the Lake

We have had our boat for a little over a year now but had never taken Admiral out with us. This is for several reasons -- getting used to the boat, having other people with us, not knowing how he would react, being scared he would go to the bathroom on things or tear things up. We finally gave it a go last night.

We covered the seats with towels as a precaution. He got on the boat with ease and seemed really happy. He of course wanted to jump right in the water so I kept him on the leash. He seemed to like the air in his face but might have also been a little unsure of the bumpy ride. He sat on my lap (not the most comfortable thing for me) for part of the ride out to the island.

He absolutely loved the island, like a little beach which we already knew he loved. Another family was there with 2 dogs so he had playmates which is always fun. He was beat when we left and rode most of the way back to the dock relaxing on the front seat with me. It was a nice Friday evening to be on the water, with my husband and my baby to watch the sun go down.
