However whenever we approached the dock where the boat was she pulled like hell to get away from that evil boat. Took the retriever canoeing. No way he was gonna get in that boat. I finally had to lift him in. He did not like it. Years ago when I was a kid, our dog always went canoeing with us and loved it. She'd swim behind the boat and run along the banks. These days, too many gators, she'd be eaten in a heartbeat. |

I'm thinking something very bad must have happened to her in the car. -- "Your honor can never be taken from you. Cherish it, in yourself and in others." (Unknown) John H |

Maybe dogs are like people: some like the water, some don't. Many years ago, we were down at a pier at Virginia Beach, watching a charterboat guy clean the fish his customers had caught. He had a "boat cat." The cat was up on the dock with the captain, and the latter cut off small chunks of deboned filet for the cat every few minutes. When all the fish were cleaned, the captain, the cat and the boat took off for their next stop, wherever that was. I mention this because one of our housecats will perch on the edge of the tub if someone is bathing, and sometimes run his paw through the water. The rest of them don't like being near that much water for any reason. -- Which one is the girl? http://tinyurl.com/ycpsnzz |
