He liked to sit on the back cabin and used to walk along the top planks to the bows, turn round and come back. I had a daughter and a dog that both did that.

frahkn Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 My dog is (broadly) similar to that, my daughter (being in her forties) isn't. Great picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Dog Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 15 hours ago, Dav and Pen said: Problem in many places was the steel piling which meant he couldn’t get out so much backing up. This is the reason our Ship's Dog wears a (Baltic - others are available) buoyancy aid even though she's a lab and swims like a fish - it's the lifting handle in the middle of her back that's the important bit.

Snap. We bought Simon's Baltic in anticipation of the one being provided by the hire boat yard being rubbish. And we were right the one they provided was cr@p.

Ray T Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Rose & Joe Skinner had a dog named Scruff too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav and Pen Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 My children brought our Scruff home announcing he was free to a good home dad. They wanted to called him sweep after sooty and sweep but one look was enough so he was scruff. Great boat dog and very well known in Braunston! The children left home but left the dog with us, he died aged 16 which was amazing considering the scrapes he got into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
