This past weekend, we took Riley for her very first boat ride on a speed boat! I was nervous at first, but we swam out to the boat and she stood on the boat, while it was rocking and showed no signs of nervousness so I decided to go ahead with our boating adventure!
We took off and Riley the crazy dog I have, LOVES boating!!!! She was all titantic on the bow, loving the wind in her fur! We went for a long ride, and stopped in a few harbours where she barked at some other dogs on boats, (I think she was saying, my boat is better than your boat
) and we saw lots of seals, to which she also barked, and they looked stunned!!
Overall a great time was had by all and I was pleasantly surprised! I felt so proud everytime we passed a boat and Riley was standing proudly with her front paws up on the bow. It may seem silly, but Riley is so hyper all of the time I feel like she has a bad reputation around our friends and family, but we know she is a beautiful, gentle girl! Everytime we passed a boat I kept thinking, maybe the people on that boat were thinking "What a great dog! We could never take our Fido out on a boat and have them enjoy it like THAT dog!"
I only wish I had a camera to capture the great day!
Have your dogs been out on a boat/Do your dogs enjoy going for boat rides?
