He was a friend of Sam’s so he knew why. Besides all I had to do was eyeball it. We actually went to order the new car in my Blazer so I could see them side-by-side.

No ramp. She doesn’t know where she would put it and the hassle of it. She just lift us all in and out. Good for the arm and leg muscles. She’s been carrying Katie more and more up and down stairs and stuff, so she is getting a good workout.

I’d like to know what the car dealer said when you started measuring the back seat of the Impala to make sure it would fit your two dogs? 🙂

I’ve heard of people who used a pulley system to lower their large dogs into their dinghy. Honey would probably endure it. But I doubt she’d be happy.

Mike’s a pretty creative guy. And he knows all Honey’s fans will be breathlessly waiting to see Honey happy and comfy on a boat.

Nothing like a little pressure…

On the other hand, some people say “If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t no one happy.” 🙂

Of course I’m writing to a Mama whose dogs make her happiest so there’s that…

Very good point, Carol.

We were already thinking of using indoor-outdoor carpet to protect the cabin sole (floor) from scratchy toenails. And I know such a surface will make her feel more confident, especially on steps.

I imagine it gets really complicated in a multi pet family. For example, I’m sure you and Bailie are fine jumping up in a big SUV. But if I remember right, doesn’t your mom have a ramp for Katie?

Yep 😉 It was the ride we took our pups home with when they were 8 weeks old…sigh…good memories!!

As we start out, we’ll probably visit marinas more because we don’t really know what we’re doing yet. But our goal is to anchor out as much as possible.

It’s much cheaper (usually free) and lends to a much prettier view than some old pump out station. 🙂
