Another day on the water

After we recovered from Hurricane Arthur that decided to pay us a visit last Thursday night, the weather for the 4th of July holiday was perfect.  Knowing that it was going to be crowded, we decided not to go far in the boat and to just park and sit on a beach somewhere.  

This is one of the best things about summers on the NC coast, the water.  This time of year the water is perfect temp and (usually) clear.  Honestly if you don't have some sort of boat, kayak, paddle board, canoe, something then I can see why people don't enjoy being stationed here (especially people our age).

We love going out on the water.  Even if you just troll around and don't catch anything and don't get out of the boat, it is still fun.  Our favorite spots are around Beaufort, NC.  These photos were taken at Carrot Island.

I am so glad that we have a water dog.  She knows that when the boat is in the driveway, she better be coming with us.  She gets so excited the whole way to the ramp. Then she is non-stop moving the entire time in the boat and off.  But she has so much fun!  She is so entertaining to us as well.  We have been teaching her to jump off the boat to get her toy and she just loves it!

Love the summer time!  Enjoy your weekend!

We are expecting!

Before everyone freaks out, we are expecting another puppy!!!

We are getting a labradoodle this coming Friday.  It all happened so quickly.  We have only been talking about this for about a week.  We have gone back and forth for a while now on what we want, especially what breed.  With Q being so up in the air with his job and what he is doing next, we decided that now was a better time than any to get one.  I have been wanting another guy for a long while now.  I know it will be hard with two dogs but we are up to the challenge.  I think it is going to be difficult if Q deploys again but having Cali was great so I'm sure two will be even better.  We are still debating on a name but here are the few pictures we do have of him. We are currently waiting to hear back from the breeder to see if he has more pictures of him.

He is almost 8 weeks old.  He was born on May 15th, so now all my family will have May birthdays! 

He is a chocolate labradoodle.  His mom is the poodle and the father is the chocolate lab.  He looks to have more lab hair but he still is going to be low shedding (hopefully not too much)!

He is going to be much bigger than Cali but it's just what we wanted.  We were looking for a larger dog and kept seeing labs on boats around here and on the beach and I have always wanted a lab.  

So Cali is going to be a big (but little in size) sister!  We think she is going to be great with a puppy.  I hope that they love each other as much as we love them.  We are so excited to welcome him to our family!!
