A Dog’s Life: Kennedy & His Love of Jet Ski Rides To Beer Can Island, Tampa Bay, Florida- IMRAN™ My precious rescued German Shepherd, Kennedy, was a Valentine’s Day gift in 2019. When he first came to his forever home with me in Apollo Beach that February, he was utterly terrified of any form of water, regardless of weather or temperature. His unknown past trauma from water was so severe that even if I ventured into the swimming pool, let alone tried to coax him in, he would seek protection in a corner next to the barbecue grill to avoid the water. However, within a few weeks of feeling safe and loved, he became so enamored with the water that he felt compelled to wade into the waters of Tampa Bay daily, multiple times daily, every day of life. Even more delightful, he overcame his fear and began to enjoy jet ski rides (even at speeds as fast as 20 mph), standing next to me in the footwell. His favorite activity when we would arrive to Beer Can Island was to greet everyone - and roll in the sand… all while still wearing his life jacket. This incredible joy filed memory created is from June 29, 2019 exactly five years ago today.
