Two weeks ago I returned from my yearly visit to Corsica. During that trip, deep in the Corsican mountains, I met Kira, chained, starved, covered in itch mite, half bold, without water and with a turned-over refrigerator for shelter. I've adopted her and smuggled her to the Netherlands. With some medical help and a ton of food, she's turned into the most adorable dog one could ever have. Today, I introduced her to kayaking. It took a big bowl of treats to get her aboard, but once we were paddling, she was fearless and clearly enjoying the experience. Here's a picture of our first trip together: http://www.nibla.nl/tmp/sneer/maarsseveen.jpg I never planned to own a dog - but I'm loving it. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
