Alpine's day off

So while my parents were in town this past week we decided to rent a boat out on Lake Monroe. So much fun! Alpine did way better then I expected. When ever we walk by water she always pulls towards it since her favorite activity besides chasing a tennis ball is swimming, but she didn't try to jump in hardly at all. She would just stick her head outside the boat and watch the water go by. The only time she would try to jump in (or cry when we didn't let her) was if one of us was in the water with out her. I guess she thought that was really unfair! If one of us jumped in the water, she would jump in behind us and chase us around the water until we puller her back out. She loves swimming!

Along with the boat, we rented a tube to pull behind it. My Dad decided it would be a great idea to try and get Alpine to go on it with him. My Mom and I both agreed it was not a very good idea and she would probably just jump off and swim around, but we let him try it any way. Much to our surprise she LOVED it! She just chilled in the tube and let us pull her and Dad around! It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. We took lots of pictures and a video. Check out the amazing tubing dog!

I think Alpine will be known as the adventure dog. Nothing scares her!!

We had a wonderful time with my parents but it's time to get back to work! Back to the hospital for a five day work week.
