My parents have a boat, which I love to take advantage of! As much as I love my pups, you know that I had to get them on the boat at some point… I mean, they both have life jackets (did you really think a 3 pound dog could swim and stay afloat? Well, if you did….they can’t.) and Twitch HATES getting his ears and eyes wet. Anyways, while Marcus was living in Atlanta, I had the pups with me. One weekend, the pups and I went up to my parent’s house and decided to go out on the boat…Yay! I don’t think my dad thought it was the best idea, but I knew they’d come through for me (at least I hoped they’d come through for me). Anyways, there were about 7 of us on the boat and finally, it was my time to go tubing. So, what happens when you have dogs that have spent months protecting you when you go out on a tube in a boat? They try to jump in the water with you and save you. Ummmmm, oops…didn’t think about that. Next thing everyone knows is Twitch is about to jump in the water after me and all I see of Cocoa is a white blur jumping up on the seats to try to get out of the boat to get to me. They didn’t have their life jackets on at that point. So, needless to say, everyone on the boat had to run and grab both of them before they got into the water. I got back into the boat and put their jackets on and hopped back on the tube. The last thing I heard before the boat started back up was Twitch crying his eyes out b/c he couldn’t get to me and Cocoa sitting in someone’s lap so she could see me. Poor little guy and crazy little girl. Needless to say, they did really well overall on the boat, except for that hiccup! I can’t wait for next summer to get them back on the boat!!
Cocoa in her life jacket, sitting in my dad's hat, with the wind blowing her hair....what a diva!
Twitch chillin in his life jacket!
Here I am on the tube....about a half a second before landing face first in the water. Fun times!!
