Summer Work and Play

Today was our first 90 degree day. I have been waiting for just such a day to remove the trees and branches that came down in the last snow/ice storm from the large pond. The canoe came out from the barn and Koyuk deciding to go along for a ride, jumped right in. Koyuk was fearless as she ran from side to side and front to back.

Koyuk loved the canoe
My job was to lasso waterlogged trees and branches and tow them to shore for Dave to lift out. Koyuk made sure my bowlines were properly tied by supervising with all her weight on the gunnel I was leaning over.

Koyuk loved jumping out of the boat, swimming ashore and barking excitedly for me to come pick her up.

I couldn't get the camera out fast enough to catch Koyuk actually sitting on the bow seat.
