Liveaboard Dog

You may know the signs your dog is anxious when you leave him alone in the house. But what does separation anxiety look like when your house moves? And how do you transform separation anxiety to strengthen your relationship with your boat dog?

Mike and I worked some interesting jobs recently. Unfortunately, there were no openings for a golden greeter. Luckily for Honey, we found a great pet sitter.

The best boat people never rush. They’re always in control. They don’t create drama. That’s why my dog Honey loves them. Because Honey Dog don’t do drama.

Lately Honey has become a better problem solver. Is my dog getting smarter?
