While enjoying a nice Sunday drive, Michael and I dropped by Rock Harbor, a marina on the Cumberland River. We found Bentley sunning himself on this boat and waiting patiently for his owner who was in Blue Lagoon Restaurant in the marina. While we walked along the dock, Bentley stayed in the same place on the boat, sitting up only once to change positions (Below).
Just before we left, Bentley's owner came out of the restaurant called the dog over. He told me that Bentley is an American Lab, hence his chest and paws are larger than and English-bred Lab. He also told me that Bentley loves boating, the water, and duck hunting.
Rock Harbor is about 10 minutes (by car) from downtown Nashville. It has 155 covered wet slips for 25'-55' boats. Electricity and water are included in the slip rental, but cable TV is extra (Ok. I'm at a loss for that one!).

Hard to imagine bigger paws on a Lab. Bentley is so cute sunning himself on that nice boat.
You don't often meet a lab who doesn't love water - what a lovely shot - dog and boat and commentary. You and I, Chris, both nuts about dogs!
The dog is not a good pilot...
It doesn't look at front of !
Dogs and water go hand in hand don't they?
Yes email me by all means.
I had the smae problem again logging in. It's spooky.
il a de la chance ce chien , il a un beau bateau et il va faire une belle promenade en mer.
he is lucky this dog, he has a beautiful boat and it will make a beautiful promenade at sea
Hi Chris,
Thanks for visiting my blog today.
Bentley looks so cute on that boat. He's not afraid of water? :)
Bentley looks like a fine watch dog. I bet he loves to go out on the lake and swim.
Three cheers for Bentley. He is one dog who seems to know he has it made.
A rich dog
it seems to await the driver; it does not have the licence to lead this boat
Handsome Lab. Bentley is a great name too. Looks like you and hubby are enjoying his retirement. Peace
These shots reminded me about a shot I did on New Orleans Daily Photo about "sail dog" last year

Your commentary wraps it all together really warmly.
Bentley obviously is a well-trained dog, and a handsome one, too. Re. your question: I taught in the literature department: World lit, Creative writing, American lit and survey courses. Loved it, loved the students, but also love retirement. Couldn't face grading another paper!!
Bentley lives a charmed life.
