Hi Lizzy,
My dog, Chia & I used to go kayaking just about every weekend…she'd love to stick her head out & feel the air. When she lost her eyesight & hearing @ 2 years ago we kept on kayaking 'til about 6 months ago when she couldn't tolerate it anymore…she would get all anxiety-stricken so we stopped kayaking together. It's really tough when they get old & sick but she was a trooper for just @ 16 years until 6/30/08 when I had to make the terrible decision to euthanize her. That was the hardest decision I ever had to make. Since she's been gone I've been writing my thoughts about the experience & will post at some point…writing is a great release for me & it's helping me get thru this sad time & also hearing from dog lovers like you on this site is quite uplifting.
Enjoy your time with your dogs! Dinky looks really cute in the kayak!
