Just like any determined professional sportsperson, Lindsey Vonn has put in her everything to attain the status of a legend. As she is retired now, besides having her mind on different businesses, she also loves to spend some quality time with her adorable dogs and friends. Lately, Vonn has realized her dogs love water, which also is something she enjoys. For that reason, Vonn has been planning to buy a means of transport that let them enjoy the water.

In the interview with TZR, Vonn opened up about her desire to buy a boat. Before that, Vonn was asked about her first big splurge. To which she replied, “I don’t really spend money. When I had the money, I just waited until I could get a nice car and that’s what I did.” Which led to the follow-up question of what she had been currently saving for.

Vonn stated her answer while demonstrating her ardent love for her dogs in response to this inquiry. “I really want to get a boat because I live in Miami most of the time now. My dogs love the water. I was borrowing my friend’s boat last summer, and it was just so nice to be able to go and pull up to one of those little islands,” Vonn said. She continued, “My dogs would just run around and I’d throw balls to them in the water — it’s just so fun. I think if I had my own boat, I would go and spearfish a lot more. Just having that quality time with my dogs and friends, and things like that I think would be really nice. I’m saving up for that.”
