With June 3 fast _ approaching, it remains to be seen if I'll meet the challenge to paddle froni*Kerit's Bay to the Kinsmen Beach with pet pooch Willie siding shotgun in the canoe. OK, this "Last Paddle" is for a great cawse (the Scugog Museumj¥and I already habe money raiséd in pledges, so I'm committed. But Willie could be another story, if our "dry land training" is any indication of who gets along in a canoe. The 120-pound Willie (that's him in the.photo, the one without the cap) has.never been*in a cano ntil last ® weekend that i) when | decided to do 8 serious training in the back yard. de was in the canoe, then out, hopping around like a friendly rabbit having the time of his life..... just one big joke. "Sit down and stay calm," I pleadqd time and again as I sat in the bottom of the canoe and made like I was paddling over Willie and yours truly did some dry land training recently to get ready for The Last Paddle, which is coming up fast on June 5. The training session was less than encouraging as Willie was in and out of the canee a dozen times or miore. Thecaralarm 2 | - that hasnt kept quiet about its success. BEGIN HERE!

"Why do I think this is not going to work when we hit the wager for the real McCoy June 5" I kept asking myself. But like I said, I'm committed to""The Last Paddle" and so is Willie, even if I have to lash hig to the bow. Lash him to the bow? You don't lash this brute to* anything, let alone the bow of a flimsy 14-foot canoe. Our "dry land training" was less than encouraging, but there's still time. This week, we hit the water for the real thing and we'll be ready for June 54 think) * = By the way I'm not risking my. neck on Lake Scugog in a canoe with a 120-pound dog for nothing.
