Doggie Dolphin Tour

This morning we had the time of our life out on our friends Jon and Lane’s boat doing an up close and personal dolphin sighting tour with our Dog Shay-Shay and their two Petunia and Swizzle. It was an incredible hour on the water out and amongst a huge pod of dolphins. At first we thought it might be six or seven, then maybe a dozen and eventually we saw as many as twenty in a line up reminiscent of the radio city rockets in a kick line.

Shay is not a happy water dog unlike her two friends. Petunia, despite her name, is the pirate captain of any boat she is on. She stands snuggle tooth on display on the bow of the boat leaning full on into the wind. Swizzle, made crying sounds the whole trip, calling out to the dolphins. They obviously enjoyed the sounds because they stayed with us for over an hour. Or Jon was able to stay with them with his excellent boating skills.

My photos of course do not do justice to the show we had. I missed the shot of the big grown-up who jumped in the air right in front of the boat. The dogs did have the best view of the gorgeous creatures, and I am not talking about a Russ.

Thanks Jon and Lane. It was a day to remember.
