Our happy place

Sinclair lake just off the lower magnetawan river, amazing little gem that rarely gets visited

My canoeing partner, Russet, lives with my daughter in Washington, DC. He's now a four-year Portuguese Water Dog. We usually get together twice a year for a trip. Last year we went to Massawepie and Taylor Pond in the Adirondacks. Our trips for this year are scheduled for next month; the destinations are not finalized yet, but they'll be in the Adirondacks. I couldn't ask for a better partner - he's enthusiastic, fun and sticks with me the entire time. He picked up the process of sitting or lying in front of me quickly. We practiced in the yard (with a loaded canoe) before the trip, getting in/out three times. He's been flawless with it ever since.

Great looking Dog TrailBlaser. Love the pics, look forward to seeing more on a trip report next month .

Here is Shep the canoe dog - another rescue we pulled of the scrap heap. He is partial to the Grumman over the Mohawk, and requires an umbrella to stay comfortable. Only dog I ever had that always crosses his paws when he lays down.
