SO this morning, right after the monthly pancake breakfast put on by the Borodino Fire Department down the lake, I decided to try paddleboarding with one of my beagles. Important note: Beagles, like many hounds are not water dogs. Most beagles do not enjoy swimming,
As you imagine, it did not go well. Louie, my older beagle, did not enjoy being put on a board floating inched above the water. Twice he panicked and fell off the board. On the third attempt, I got on the board with him, but once I stood up, he panicked again and fell in, requiring me to retrieve him, which isn't easy with a paddle in your hand and an eight foot board to keep your eye on.
After a couple of more tries, we eventually got the hang of it, but I'm not sure the effort was worth it, especially from Louie's point of view...
