00:02Oh my god!
00:04He wiggles his butt and he's barking.
00:06And that's probably the most amazing thing in the world to experience.
00:11That was super cool!
00:13Tatiana and Diamond's ultimate pet routine is paddleboarding together.
00:17And for Diamond, there's nowhere in the world he'd rather be than out on the water with his favorite person.
00:22Every morning, he wanna do his little routine.
00:25He doesn't go on a board right away.
00:26First, he need to get his belly wet.
00:30Then he starts swimming towards me.
00:32That's kinda a sign that I wanna go on a paddleboard with you, mom.
00:36Good boy!
00:37This little pre-pattle ritual is not only 100% mandatory for Diamond to do,
00:42but he's been doing this since he was five months old.
00:44My neighbor helped to place him on a paddleboard.
00:47And he just really loved it from the first moment.
00:49He figured out the system right away.
00:52And ever since then, we go paddleboarding every day.
00:55Let's go sail the world!
00:57I always make sure that he is comfortable with me on the board.
01:01We really wanted Diamond to experience the beach.
01:04The bay is so beautiful, calm, and safe.
01:09He's a total water baby, and paddleboarding together became one of our favorite ways to share those adventures.
01:16And another fun way they spend time together is going out on the boat.
01:19We joke that Diamond is Captain Short Legs because he is always letting you know what he wants to do.
01:25He will go down, checking out what's happening.
01:28Captain Diamond.
01:30And when we spot the dolphins, we always go slow.
01:33And if they choose to stay around, he gets extremely excited.
01:36Look at his butt.
01:38Look at that wiggle.
01:43That was super cool.
01:47I agree, Diamond.
01:48It's exciting.
01:49But after years of mornings just like this, Tatiana knows the real magic of this routine goes far beyond whatever
01:55they might find out on the water.
01:56The best part of this bond is that we are able to be present in each other's life.
02:02I really cherish every moment that we spend together with Diamond.
02:07He's my baby.
02:09I'll do anything for him.
02:10I'm really excited to have more adventures with him.
