Vacation with the Pups

This past week Chip and I took the pups to the Thousand Islands for Vacation.

Here they are peering over the side of the boat, enjoying all the new smells and sounds...

They enjoyed the weather, the open space to run around off-leash, the family and new friends they got to meet, and all the comfy spaces around the house for them to lay on.

They did NOT enjoy the water as much as we had hoped.

Bruno and Winnie both have extremely webbed feet so we had hopped they would both take to the water naturally and swim with us.

Winnie had learned to swim a bit last summer, and while she still doesn't like to swim- she loves to lay on rocks and let the cool water wash over her.

Bruno, however, it seemed didn't even know how to swim. When we did put him in the water (much against his will- but in a life-preserver), he simply thrashed about- using only his front two legs to swim.

Luckily, all of the open space to run and play was much appreciated and they ended up tuckered out most of the week, looking like this...
