Canoeing on Long Pond

The dog and I finally took the canoe out for the first time; we went to the south end of Long Pond. It turns out that he is not the least bit afraid of being in the boat out on the water, contrary to what I expected--in fact, he seems to have the most fun standing with his front feet up on the gunwale while the canoe rocks back and forth in the waves! I think I wrestled with him more than I paddled. Overall we had a good time, though.
