Paddleboards and Puppies

Jackson and I went on a date to Pineview a few weeks ago.  We rented a couple paddleboards and spent the day up there.  We brought Oakley with us and boy was it fun.  Haha we bought her a doggy life jacket to make sure she was safe when we took her out with us.  And let me tell you....  She HATED it.  Like straight up hated it.  If you out her in the water she doggy paddled straight for shore. And if you out her on the paddle board with you,  she was right by your feet, if not on them.  I've never seen a dog hate water so much.  It was hilarious! So of course,  bejng the hilarious people that we are,  played toss with our puppy.  We would get our paddleboards about 10 to 15 feet apart and the throw her in and make her swim to the other person.  I could've done it all day.  I was so entertained. When she got to her target,  she would scramble up on the board like she was clinging for dear life. You gotta picture this with me.  Soaking wet puppy,  so her fur is all matted down.  She looks teeny tiny because of it.  And her eyes are frantic and she's scrambling to get on the board and when she does she plots down right in your lap.  And she doesn't move.  And she's clawing your claw so you don't toss her in.  It was priceless,  but she may permanently hate water from now on.  Oops! Haha

But Jackson and I had so much fun.  The paddleboards were something new for each of us to try and they were really neat.  We raced each other and mosied around the lake.  It was a much needed relax day before school started back up again.

The only bad part to the day was that we both got sunburned.  And bad.  We were both peeling for a week.  It was lovely.  Just lovely. I had to show up to my first day of nursing school with my face peeling like I'm some kind of Martian.  Yeah....  That was a great first impression. NOT.
