You'll be glad to know, we did take the time to go kayaking a couple of weeks ago before our heat wave began. We first went to Cunningham Pond, just two miles from our house to see how Oliver did in the boat and he was fine. After a short break at home (and a rather grueling bike ride), we then went over to MacDowell Lake for a much longer kayak ride. We saw a lot of turtle, king fisher, Matte saw a deer along shore and many fish were jumping about. I had envisioned Oliver sitting on the floor of the kayak between my knees, but he stood the entire time with his front paws on the top of the boat and really seemed to enjoy himself.
We are planning on getting back out this week and will try a few new places as there are endless numbers of lakes, ponds and rivers here. Of course we thought of you the whole time since you not only gave us the kayaks but also the love of any activity involving a lake. I wanted so much to tell you about our day and that made it rather bitter sweet.
