Another great day outdoors win beautiful Utah. We went out with friends to East Canyon Reservoir on their new kayaks with their dogs. We took Maleki out with us this time. Maleki did an amazing job even when he'd get up he wouldn't rock us he was very stable in it. He did end up out of it once but it was so easy getting him back in. 

Before we went out we ran into DWR and talked with him then got a picture to add to the law enforcement collection lol Leki didn't mind the new life vest at all and I really feel it fits better than any we have tried before. Now to get all the dogs one. This summer has really been a lot of fun spending time with family (human and dogs), friends and in the outdoors. 

I took Maleki and Luna to hike with some of our friends. We hiked up to where the pond is and when I came around the bend there was a mom and baby moose. I frozen for a minute then we moved out slow to make sure she was going to move on and not at us. Guess we didn't feel like a threat because they moved on and then we were able to enjoy the pond and it's views. 

The dogs love having the pool to keep in shape in this heat. We worked on some of our training and then added in fun of course as well. 

We decided we would go kayak up at Bear Lake for the morning and take Bear dog with us. We headed up early and enjoyed a nice calm morning on the lake. Bear got in the kayak and just napped in the waves and sun. The lake is an amazing bluish color and so clear on the beaches. We will have to make another trip with another dog up there. 

​Pioneer Day is a Holiday in Utah so we took advantage with our friends. We took a hike to Green Pond, headed to Pineview to swim them aka clean them off :) then had lunch on the patio with the dogs.

Green Pond: Maleki and Maui were so happy to be out and in the mountains. Once we hit the pond they were ready to play. When the group of kids came down I'm not sure who was more excited the dogs or the kids. We ended up there watching them play with them for sometime. Once they were done we headed back down. We decided to take the dogs to Pineview on the way down to clean the pond smell off. 

Pineview: Maui and Maleki jumped right into the water. We had to get in to get Fable to come with us but she did it she didn't go very far but she still didn't try to run away. 

Pats Food Shack: All three dogs got to join us on the patio and enjoy some fries as we enjoyed our lunch. I love we can get them out on patios. 

Another great day with the dogs and our friends. We love getting out and making memories with our crew. 

After days of rain we finally had a break and sunshine. The dogs enjoyed some pool time and frisbee playing. 

Tonight was our last night of rally class and our instructor made it a fun night. We have really enjoyed going and will need to practice more and hopefully do another class. Maybe one day we can go to event but I have to learn signs first lol Maleki seems to like it but who know how long that will last. 

How exciting all three dogs received their invites to the 2019 DockDogs World Championships. This will make year 8 of us going to compete. I'm so excited this year that Maleki will be doing EV and that Kai just like Kona his first year will be getting to go. 

Happy first birthday Kaihalulu. No doubt in our minds that Kona made sure you found your way to us. You are one special boy and I'm so glad you are in our lives. That first year has gone so fast and can't wait to see what adventures we will have together down the road. 

The dogs had a great last day on the dock. Maui, Maleki and Kai all got personal best today. It was a great day with the dogs having a blast and giving it their all.
