Yesterday, Bella seemed really restless and uncomfortable in my kayak. She did have a couple of cushions on the floor to sit and stand on but seemed pretty restless. She also has trouble standing up because she wants to hold onto the front of the boat, but it is very slippery. After I got home, I bought some wide Velcro and put several strips of the soft side of the Velcro on the front of the boat. I will see if that helps her on our next trip. Today I also brought her fake fur fuzzy dog bed and put it on the flat cushion on the bottom of the boat. For the first time ever, she jumped right into the boat. She traveled much better today with her comfortable doggie bed. It was a little windy but easy to control the boat as long as I stayed fairly close to the shore. We went all the way to the outlet stream that goes into Mud Lake. It had a lot of branches and debris, and the water was pretty low and fast, So I decided not to travel it to Mud Lake. Most of the lakes and streams are a little low right now because it has been very warm and dry lately. We paddled for a couple of miles, and it was cool enough that I didn't even need to dip Bella into the water. I think she had a lot more fun today, just because of her little bed. She really liked barking at the water lilies for some reason, which I thought was rather odd.
