Boomer

Let me just start off by saying I already miss Angus.
He was a little under the weather when I left. I hope he is feeling better. I'm sure Kerry is seeing to that! Boomer is with me on the trip, kind of a big trip for a dog who is only 2 years old but I could not be more proud! He slept or just sat in the back of my Jimmy the whole way up here. He looks out the window as if he is playing piddle. We stayed in Superior at a Days inn and I left him in the room alone and he was good as gold. So I pulled up at the outfitter and Adam had all our gear packed and ready to go, all I had to do was get in his truck to go to the drop off point. I had to put Boomer in the back of his pickup and he jumped in and curled up in the forward corner of the bed along with the canoe and gear. Then we get to the put in point and we load the two Duluth packs in the canoe and its time to tell Boomer to get in. Takes about 5 minutes but he slowly steps in and after another 2 minutes I coax him to sit down. I get in and Adam pushes us off and jumps in. Boomer is not sure what to think but holds steady. I still have this feeling he could jump into the water at any time. If that happens there is no way to stop the capsize.
