Sometimes the dogs look interested, and sometimes the owners are keen. But when it comes down to it, following something around waiting for it to poo and then scooping that up in a plastic bag and carrying it to a bin is too big a price to pay for having the companionship of a dog on board.<br />Anyway, we have Mel - he is a real (stuffed) goat of Australian descent but with NZ citizenship. He travels on the boat and doesn't need to get off to pee or poo and he never needs feeding. No whining to get out/off/on/up/down.<br />Let me know and I will see if I can find something similar for Kath - I promise she will find it just as cuddly and much more satisfactory as a crew member.<br />Cheers, MarilynMarilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.com
