    The Tarzan Boat is a boat with a bunch of jumping platforms and trampolines and rope swings and a slide attached. Sadly, there is no circus cannon. It still looks like a great time though.

    “I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool,” continued Johnson. “HOBBS immediately starts doggy paddling while BRUTUS (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool.”

    Luckily, these two pups live with an action hero. Johnson sprang right into action.

    “I take off into a full sprint, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean BRUTUS and bring him back to the edge of the pool,” wrote Johnson. “He was a little delirious.. took a moment, threw up all the water he swallowed and looked up at me as if to say, ‘Thank God you didn’t have to give me mouth to mouth!’ and then ran off to play with his brother.”

    Here’s a fun Labor Day weekend story… We just decided to add two new members to our Johnson family. Baby French Bulldogs. In my right hand is BRUTUS and in my left hand is HOBBS. Bring them home and immediately take them outside so they can start learning how to “handle their business and potty like big boys”. I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool. HOBBS immediately starts doggy paddling while BRUTUS (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool. I take off into a full sprint, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean BRUTUS and bring him back to the edge of the pool. He was a little delirious.. took a moment, threw up all the water he swallowed and looked up at me as if to say, “Thank God you didn’t have to give me mouth to mouth!” and then ran off to play with his brother. A few lessons I’ve learned today.. A) Not all puppies have the instinct to doggie paddle. B) Some puppies (like BRUTUS) will be so in shock by experiencing water they will sink extremely fast so react quick. C) While spiriting to save your puppies life, before you dive in, try and throw your cel phone to safety. Don’t keep it in your pocket… like I did. #BRUTUSLives #HOBBSCanSwim #MyCelPhonesDead #AndNoMouthToMouthNeeded #HappyLaborDay

    West Bloomfield Police and Oakland County Sheriff marine deputiesย arrested a Royal Oak woman for drunken boating Sunday after she struck a swimmer with a personal watercraft, pinning him against a pontoon boat on Middle Straits Lake.

    The victim, aย 60-year-old West Bloomfield man,ย suffered multiple broken bones. He was taken by ambulance to Huron Valley Hospital where he was being treated forย what are described as non-life threatening injuries.

    Investigators said that the man was standing in the water inside a swim area near West Acres Beach about 4:20 p.m. when the woman stood up on theย personal watercraft, lost control and racedย into the area. She struck the man, slamming him against a nearby boat.

    Her watercraft continued to slam against the side of the pontoon until other boaters got it to stop.

    The 24-year-oldย woman was arrested for operating while intoxicated causing an injury and operating without a boater safety certificate.

    Labor Day is basically a going away party, a fond farewell to summer. ย But in Oceanside it is the site of the longest annual rough water swim in the West, the Oceanside Labor Day Pier Swim.

    Nearly 500 competitors dove into the Pacific Ocean Monday morning hoping to make the 1.1 mile swim around the Oceanside Pier. ย But rough waters were a game changer. ย Elevated surf and strong rip currents forced more than 300 participants back to shore.
