This also gave Stormie a great opportunity to try out her Paws Aboard life jacket that we purchased at Paws for a Cause. Because is was so hot, she only wore it for a short while, but was definitely adorable! I know, the hat and doggles just make the whole outfit complete, huh?
Stormie wasn't so sure she was enjoying herself at first, but after she got used to the noise of the engine and the bobbing up and down, she started relaxing and having some fun.
We settled into a nice shady cove and stopped to have our dinner. Some other friends of ours were out on their boat and joined up with us. They had their little dog, Maggie, with them. She was jealous of Stormie's collar from Crazy for Collars, so we decided it would look really nice on her and let her have it. She went home very happy.
Stormie soon was feeling comfortable enough (other than the heat, always harder on a dog with a black coat. Honestly, she drank lots of water!) to start exploring the boat, even tried to convince everyone that perhaps she should try her paw at driving!
Hannah wanted to take her out on the float tube, but we decided she liked the view better from
my lap.
In the end, we wore the poor little thing out and she snoozed on the way back to the dock.
Life is rough for Stormie, don't you think???
