Cottonwood Lake Kayak

 It took me quite some time to finally drag myself out of bed this morning just to eat breakfast and take Bella for a walk. I know she really wanted to go on a nice hike and make up for being indoors all day yesterday. But I didn't have a speck of energy left after that marathon. Instead, I took my kayak out to Cottonwood Lake and enjoyed a peaceful paddle for a couple of hours. I'm not so sure Bella really enjoys being in the boat though. She acts like she is trying to find a good place to leap out most of the time. She did like barking at dogs on shore and ducks and grebes floating on the water though. It was really warm and sunny, and she was panting hard. To cool her off, I picked her up by her lifejacket handle and dipped her in the water for a quick swim. Not so sure she liked that very much, but she did stop panting and seemed more comfortable once I pulled her back in the boat. We only went a couple of miles then I took us home and went to bed early to catch up on my rest.
