Well, this weekend we figured out that "captain" may be a bit of a misnomer for this Vizsla... or maybe he just needs to find his sea legs. Either way, Captain didn't really seem to enjoy being on a canoe very much. We headed up to Headlesburg for a day of canoe/rafting on the
Russian River, excited for Captain's first time on a boat. Unfortunately, he spent most of the time on the boat with his tail between his legs and attempting to climb up on top of his daddy, which made paddling a near impossibility. We ran into a few tricky situations with the currents, but enjoyed the sun & time with friends. Captain DID seem to like swimming around a little, cooling off in the river from the hot sun. Maybe next time we'll see how he enjoys a sailboat or more sturdy vessel....

A little video of the doggie paddle:
Taking a break on the shore after his dip:
For now, Captain says he'll stick to being a landlubber.
Captain says a couple of times up and down a sand dune is a good way to get tired :-)
Captain is always a little confused by flying things in the air that aren't birds...

Captain looooooves snuggling in his buddy Trax's kennel...
Yawn! Time for more sleeping!
Being an East coaster, I'm still getting used to the fact that 4th of July in San Francisco doesn't mean hot & humid. Although we did have a pretty warm weekend, did some grilling, spent a lot of time at the dog park and Chrissy Field, and just relaxing on our porch in the sun, so I guess it wasn't too far off in hitting the mark on outdoor celebration. These are a few shots from our Chrissy Field day.
