This was Flight's third trip on the SUP, and by far his longest. The first trip was just a quick paddle around a local pond, while the second trip was a water parade for the solstice, which happened after dark.
He doesn't seem to totally love it yet, but then, Ptera didn't for a while at first either, and now she is hard to keep off the board.
Koira of course had a blast. She spent most of the hour and a half we were there in the water swimming. She wears a life jacket for exactly that reason- I don't want her getting excessively tired, and she will keep swimming until I make her stop.
Ptera and Flight also did some swimming, but mostly hung out on the paddleboard. Koira just took occasional breaks on the board.
Overall, all the dogs had a lot of fun, even if it wasn't as warm and sunny as years past.
That looks like a pawesome way to burn of some energy :) Nothing is better then going for a nice swim. We would have loved to join in. Milo,Jet & Arli
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun adventure! I'd love to try this with my pups, but the only place nearby is Lake Erie and I'm not brave enough for that! I want to be able to see the other side for my first try ;) Glad that you had a fun way to relax on the 4th!
ReplyDeleteYou can do what I call a bump run, where you just stick close to the shore the whole way. It makes large bodies of water less scary. Waves can make that harder though. I like small lakes and slow rivers the best, preferably ones with no motor boats allowed.
DeleteDid you use a GoPro for these photos? These are some great shots. I wish that my pup was as calm and cool as your dogs about being on the water... he hates it. Great share!

Yes, I use an original GoPro for photos on the water. It is fun and easy to use.
