Max

Max our 10 1/2 year old Basset Hound is doing a wonderful job of being a salty dog. As far as Max's life experience goes he only  knew of life on land. Andrew and I were wondering how he would do living on a boat and I think both of us were very surprised as to how well he transitioned.  Max loves wandering the marina and saying hi to all of people here. He knows who will give him treats and love and makes a bee line for them when he sees them or picks up their scents. It is very cute. Max has been on many golf cart rides and his ears flop in the wind and looks like a regal hound dog in his rightful place in the passenger seat. We also borrowed a center console tender for a day. Max graciously wore his dogie life jacket.As Andrew and Sabastian were driving the dingy out of the boat ramp area poor Max ran into a sign on the walkway and scared himself so bad that he fell into the water. Thank goodness he had on his life jacket and he was on his leash. It was a quick dip and only got his back legs wet. He recovered quickly and boarded the tender gracefully.Max whimpered until he got the bow seat as he did not like sitting on the floor of the tender. Max loved the ride and did better than we thought.
