I had a surprise mid week day off today so the boys talked me into taking the boat out to their favorite island. The weather was Fall crisp but we were prepared and stayed comfortable. I now have two sleepy pups.

What great pictures! I love the profile shots. Lucky lucky you!

A day off mid week, how wonderful. What a great way to spend the day and in the best company I can think of.

Beautiful shots, Rob.I'm glad you got the midweek break.

For some reason, we always yell "barge" when we see one go by and also "train" when one goes by.

Stupid adult habits, I guess. And what makes it worse is we always laugh.

Those boys are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO in their element on the island. Looks like somebody's wishfully thinking about jumping on a freighter to go see the world!!!

 

[HovawartMom]

They are both beautiful!.

I just can't imagine that THAT was a very hard thing to do or that it took very long for you to cave!

Beautiful as always. I guess your 'island' days are dwindling. When do you usually make the last trip in the fall?

Very nice! They have such a great life!

Pretty catered to pooches... their own island, their own boat and driver, what a life!

I vet they had to really twist your arm to get you to take the boat out. I love the profile shots of them and can only imagine what is going thru their mind.

 

[KiwiD]

I'm glad the boys convinced you to take them out, it looks like they had a ball.

Surprise to see a barge - how deep is the water? You all enjoy the island and I'm sad your weather is getting cool as I like your pictures.

As always, your boys are wet and gorgeous! They have the best life.

Is that the Hudson River?

Nice photo's as always.Those guys have got it made! and I bet the "weather was Fall crisp" made it even more fun!

 

[asiacat]

[Augustus McCrae's Mom]

Those must be the happiest dogs ever...and I'm sure that in turn, makes you the happiest man ever

There is 100' deep channel running up the St. Croix river to a commercial dock a mile or so up from the island that is as far as the large ships can go. The cool weather yesterday was actually nice. I don't put my boat away until the middle to the end of October just in case there is a nice day.
