Happy Gotcha Day!

Soaking up the sun

 I had a special day over the weekend.  It was my happy gotcha day or the day my mom adopted me!  We started together right after Thanksgiving 2016.  I did the math and it has been 4 years!  I wanted to give a shout out to my mom with one of my favorite memories.  My mom had high hopes for me becoming an adventure dog, but as you all know I am somewhat of a diva.  My first kayaking trip was quite the experience for everyone, and I guess the very best way to become an adventure dog.  We were stationed in a campground by Lake Shelbyville.  We were staying outside.  I knew my mom was crazy when she told me that a tent was home sweet home.  Then she expected me to get into a boat and float down a river!  At first I was like no way, but then being stuck in a boat riding on my mom's lap or really close to her wasn't so bad!  We were literally on the water for hours and it was getting dark.  I could tell the group was getting worried, but at dusk we found our takeout spot.  I was an excellent travel companion the entire day!  I stayed in the boat and was the inspiration that led the group to victory!  Maybe the last part was made up, but my mom was so proud that I was a good adventure dog!  I got the official title.  I am so happy I got this opportunity!  I was pulled out of my comfort zone, but I tried something new and I liked it.
