That is Spot. She's just a year old and she's got a skittish personality about new things, so we got the life jacket to make it easier to see and grab her if she decides to bolt in the middle of the lake. Also, she doesn't yet understand that she can't walk on water, even if she is a decent swimmer. She doesn't LOVE the boat, but she's learning to tolerate it.
The in-laws live on a lake and we also like to tent camp, so it's just easier to bring her along instead of finding somebody to come in and check on her if we leave her at home. She tends to get destructive when she's bored. She's taken to hiking quite happily - last summer she walked almost 3km of one of the trails and rode on our shoulders the rest of the way. I modified an old backpack with two dozen large grommets to make ventilation holes, and she'll ride in that when she gets tired. I'll have to dig up those photos for you when I'm in front of a computer and not on my phone. :)
