It rained a bit on the Monday of our trip but luckily only in the morning. By the afternoon it had really cleared up. So, we decided to take Bailey on his first canoe trip.
He may look thrilled to you.
But the poor little guy was pretty scared and was trying to climb into my lap for almost the whole time we were out. We didn’t stay out long since he didn’t seem to be having as much fun as we hoped.
He did settle down a bit and seemed to get pretty comfy near the end.
Hubby thought Bailey would enjoy swimming more and indeed he did!
We got him to jump off the dock a couple times.
Apparently Claire was at our dock.
After a good swim it was time to dry off.
Hey, at least he liked the swimming part! 
Does your pet like the water? Boats? Swimming?

Aw, Bailey is soo cute!
My parrots only like water on their terms. If I spray my parrots with water to clean them, they hate it, but then when I walk away, one of them will take a bath in his own drinking water cup and shake water all over. Silly bird!
aw, bailey! so cute in your little life jacket
my labs adore water to the point of us not being able to take them around water…unless we want to bathe them 
aww he is too cute!!!
Bailey’s adorable! Thanks for sharing his adventures!
Go Bailey!!
I’m so jealous Bailey will swim!! Piper just looks at us like we’re crazy and cowers in the corner. Maybe a life vest is key??
Looks like he had so much fun!
That’s so cute.
My corgi, Gibson, will swim, but he is scared of it.. He just wants to get out once he is in the water! I think he appreciates the fact that it cools him down though
My dog loves swimming but I never take her. I’m a terrible dog-mommy!
