Pedal Boat on the Potomac

We have a new puppy—a cairn terrier named Scruffy. He is cute as can be. I bought him a tiny life jacket last week because he isn’t big enough to wear Boscoe’s old life jacket yet--and isn’t experienced enough in the ways of the world to know he can’t walk on water! He’s gone out with me twice on the Potomac. Once my husband Don was with us and Scruffy was fine; the other time it was just Scruffy and me, and he started to wimper when we got far from shore. I cut that ride short because I don’t want him to develop a fear of the water. So Don will go out with us again next weekend. Boscoe used to love to go out in the Escapade with me; I hope Scruffy will learn to enjoy it too.
