We tried the pedipaws thing from the infomercial on our Bully. Didn't work worth a damn. Not nearly strong enough. I have a Dremel

I took Molly on my boat when she was 4 months old. Figured I would get her used to boating and the water as my at the time 8 year old son wanted her to go with us when we went out. It was in mid-April, sunny, low 70's, beautiful day. Get into the cove and start to anchor up and I hear a splash. Cool. Dog is taking to the water right away. A few seconds later my son is crying, my wife is crying, and the dog is swimming away from the boat and sinking fast. Don't all dogs know how to swim? Especially a Golden Retriever?! Off come my clothes and into the 50 some degree water I go. Odd how such cold water actually feels like it burns when you are submerged in it. I get Molly back to the boat where she spends the next couple hours under a towel shivering. First and last outing for Molly!

Nakita, my 125lb female Malamute has ridden in my cousins
38 Magnum and my 21 Chaparral,she loved it, we also took her by boat to Gilberts
on Key Largo , she was a star there, people were falling over to pet her.
She has not ridden in my Carrera yet, the exhaust is too loud for her, she gets scared when I start it up.

Lucy's a cutie.!! We had a black lab but smaller than Lucy and when the cruiser was moored (late '80's), Barney would jump out car, in the gate, down the main pier, third finger pier to the left and jump on the Carver aft. Best dog I've owned. Lost him on fathers day weekend. 1995.
