She wasn’t my “first” choice because I got denied the older Lab mix I wanted to adopt because I work full time. So when I went to the local shelter a few days later I fell in love with a little puppy and we made it work, looking back it was a completely impulsive decision, which I’d probably usually recommend against. But with enough dedication any dog or boat can become the right choice.

As they say, just do it. And you have…and you will…armed with knowledge and having done your due diligence, of course. Knowing how careful you are about your decisions in the first place, I’ve no doubt your new floating home will be absolutely perfect. And I can’t wait to be reading about that new life just waiting for you ’round the bend!

My bipeds chose the most confident girl puppy in the litter – and then they sometimes have the nerve to tell me I have too much confidence for my own good!

Waste of time she says, but everyone is different. If she needs a house and likes one she finds, she buys it. No desire to see twenty others that might be better, she wants the one and that is it. With us pets it is the same way. If she sees us and likes us, she wants us, end of story. So far it has worked pretty well for her. Katie could have been an issue with her breed being a normally vicious guard dog, but a friend made some suggestions on socializing her and it all worked out. The breeder said I was the puppy, take me or get no puppy, so she went with me. Hope your boat works out.

We are just going through this process right now (the choosing of our dog but we wish a boat too) and there is definitely a lot of work that goes into it. We spent about 40 minutes yesterday deciding which puppy we wanted. You obviously picked one great dog! 🙂
