Rosie's new life jacket arrives tomorrow, thankfully. She absolutely LOVES the water - be it to drink or to jump into so our 'event' must have not scared her too badly. Annie was never a fan of the water like Rosie. We even have to always bring a bottle of water on the boat since she will not drink lake water. Even backing down the boat ramp to go home, Annie will not walk in the edge of the water to get into the truck. We've tried everything from early on when she was little pup but no way, not going to happen. They are different in so many ways other than size.
I remember your event with the auto-inflate - kind of scares you when it fires off since we have experienced it before, but it sure does work nicely. We did learn that our 1 step swim ladder was real pain trying to get on it when soaking wet and inflated so we've now changed it out for 3 step telescoping one that will go much farther down into the water so it easier to get back on the boat.
We finished an extremely busy week this week watching the granddaughters and getting them to soccer practices, early AM till 7-8pm while our son was in a specialized training so our plans to anything for ourselves was set aside for the week. And the weather patterns to boot, we felt catching wouldn't have been best - we need all the help we can get sometimes. So we are looking to get out fishing next week. So I'll be making up a few rigs to try out, maybe couple of those fire tiger ones you gave us and maybe a red/white one. I may even give the snarl blade making a try while I am at it.
