Miah is 55 pounds of energy - half Siberian Husky and half Lab - she loves to hang out with her people. So a trip in the car AND a boat ride in the same day? Too good to be true!
As soon as she heard her collar and leash she was sitting waiting for the collar to slip over her head. We stopped on the way to our slip for breakfast and Miah waited anxiously in the car, taking up residence behind the wheel. After a great breakfast in a local cafe we headed for our slip.
Miah had a bit of trouble figuring out how to board but once she figured it out she was right at home. We pulled out of our slip, stopped at the gas dock and then headed up river. After about 45 minutes we found a spot just off the main channel to anchor. We spent a few hours reading, enjoying the scenery and just relaxing. After a light lunch we hoisted anchor and headed south to find a place where Miah could play. We ended up in a sand pit and nosed the bow up onto the sandy bank. Miah wasted no time and hopped off onto the bank and began exploring. She sniffed, wandered and explored for awhile and then she apparently remembered that she loved being in the water. She waded in a few steps and sat down. Then the game was on - she went into one of her favorite routines; rip tearing up and down the beach and biting at the water. This went on for about 10 minutes and then she was done. She couldn't quite make it back up onto the boat so I picked her up and helped her onto the bow. After a quick paw wipe off she headed for a nap. She napped for most of the rest of our boat ride.
Another great day on the water.
