Don't forget to sleep with the bucket, either. You know damned well SHE

deck creaks under her feet every time a wave tilts it under her.

One lass I know has found out that turning on the radio can calm down
her saluki pretty much. A multi-story concrete building has enough
noises of its own to scare a dog senseless during the hours that she is
at work, meeting potential mates or doing some other suspicious
business that dog owners do when they are not attending their pride..
But it seems that the radio either masks the noises or provides an
environment with comforting human sounds.

So there are differences between breeds of dogs? Salukis are quite
timid dogs so there would be a few hurdles to clear before starting.
For starters she'd be scared of the people at the marina... when her
owner took a swim, she would stand in the water knee-deep, "whimpering
helplessly for her owner to come back". I suppose you should start
stepwise with a 'difficult' dog like this: eg. first walking trips to
the marina/piers, then visiting the boat while it's docked, then short
trips... you get the idea. I suppose even salukis would enjoy the sun
and fresh winds if they could stride around a largish, stable boat over
and over.

Who cares about the puppy. **** on the deck. Wait till that cute pup
chewes a hole in a chewy exposed 1 1/2" below the WL hose, bites
another boater, ****es on your cabin cussions, and then infest the boat
with fleas.

Boating is suppose to be fun. If you want those kinid of problems go
and get an alcoholic girlfriend. There aint much diffrence. You cant
leave her alone on the boat or shell burn it down, sink it or **** the
guy next slip over. But at least with a girl friend your getting
layed..... sometimes. With a dog ..................... ?

This is from someone who had both.
But not any more

Saw a guy in the news last night in court for cruelty to animals.
Seems his wife or girlfriend caught him having sex with a family dog.
She used her camera phone and called the cops!!!!

I have a Parson Jack Russel Terrier and he is an absolute nightmare on
board, not that he is scared of water or anything likes that. He goes
absolutely off his head if I have to go up on deck or even worse if I
have to go on land. Its an insecurity thing I guess. He may get better
with time but I doubt it.

Dear Mr Molesworth ,, you sir are a philosopher and a gentleman.

But, how do you know my former girlfriend? I don't remember mooring near
you.

Did you **** her too? Everyone else did.

And drink? She did have a dry tongue as they say.

When I kicked her and the dog off the boat, I felt bad for the dog.

We sail with our Afghan hound. She is much happier on the boat than in
the car and we have now gotten used to the fact that she can wedge
herself into a spot in the cockpit and stay on board, even when we are
heeled. She is quiet, certainly quieter than many of the party animals
we have experienced in quiet moorings, always finds a convenient and
comfortable spot when we are at anchor and will willingly jump from the
cockpit to our inflatable. She has now mastered the boarding ladder to
the point where she only needs a small push into the cockpit to get
back aboard.

The downside: she brings bucket loads of sand on-board, has rolled on
the occasional dead fish and regular trips ashore are required. On the
other hand my 6 year old is nearly as much trouble and he wouldn't let
us leave her at home anyway.

We put a life jacket on her with a handle on the back when she is up in
the cockpit. If the weather is rough, even when it's blistering hot,
she'll be in the cockpit, often in the way but the alternative is
cleaning up vomit down below.

The only time she has been really upset on board was when we weathered
a particularily violent squall at anchor. None of us were really all
that happy then either.

Personally, I enjoy a quiet row ashore and a stroll with my son and the
dog but if you don't want to respect a schedule while cruising, then a
dog is not advisable.

Cheers,
Phil

We have a Lab/Basset cross and am wondering how she'll get on on board.

All advice, experiences gratefully received.

Nooooooooo... But one day I showed up home way early and found my sweet
girl friend on her back with a cube of butter on her chest and the
pooch down at her cooch. I went and got a beer and watched the show. Id
been down there a couple times myself and figured better the dog than
me.

Later she tried the same thing two slips over. I could understand my
dog but drew the line at the neighbor.

Maybe both the dog and the neighbor knew how to eat a pink taco better
than you did.
