Last Weekend

Went canoeing Saturday with Dad, Teresa, Chaddy, Annie and Boomer... sadly, I forgot the camera. Boomer seemed to enjoy his first canoe trip, and settled down considerably (stopped barking at people) once we were settled in the boat and on the river. We led both dogs into the river with us to play but when we dropped Boomer's lead, he opted to jump out of the water and rub his wet face and body in weeds and dirt. We dragged him back into the river to rinse off. He got tired and wore his yoda face the second half of the trip.

Annie, on the other hand, wanted to be in the river the whole time! By the time we'd manage to get her in the canoe, she would jump out the other side and lay down in the river. Defiant little girl! Sometimes, while we were moving, she'd stick her paw into the water! I'd say she's more retriever than border collie.

Saturday evening and Sunday we drove up to Cowan lake campground to join Chad's fam. Decided driving up and coming home at night is a much better plan for us than weekend camping at Cowan, at least for now while our dogs are crazy and we have no camper.

Monday, got together at my parents house for Labor Day... complained about the increasing commercialization of Labor Day, and how Labor Day decorations keep coming out earlier and earlier... Good times.
