Guess where we're going today Bessy. It's a picnic and kayak combo.
All the supplies for a quality meal.
Bessy seems to have gotten used to riding up front.
There were a few other dogs in the park that day, and Bessy was making her usual whiny noises.
A gorgeous day for a paddle.
I think I've found my kayak launching spot.
That's because two seconds after launching she jumped right off the boat into the foot deep water
Right away I reach down and pull her up by her collar. No way was I losing my trusty navigator.
Notice how Bessy looks a little wet...
Bessy scopes out the terrain, or lack of it.
My trusty navigator.
She recently joined PAWS, the Plymouth Association of Water Sharks.
All the little kids were psyched to see Bessy when we went under the bridge.
That's all in the past though. These days she's a professional swimmer.
Bessy makes faces at all the jealous dogs on land.
Time for a walk to scope out the rest of the area.
The colors between the leaves and reflections off the lake made for some great photos.
Break time
This house sat along the river that fed the pond.
More great colors on the other side.
