I’m switching to Pet Health Solutions’ Proflora Probiotics for Dogs as soon as it arrives…I ordered a one-month supply to try because it’s less expensive and money-back-guaranteed to work. The other stuff is working but really expensive.

I bet Honey will adjust pretty easily. Retrievers tend to just go along with things. Maya is really easy going. Both her and Pierson did well when we moved to Iowa. A new house meant new rules and they figured it out rather easily.

Here’s what she will cherish – her constant companionship with you and your husband. I believe Honey will be just fine and adapt well. No regrets, don’t look back – exciting adventures and stories await …

This is exciting! I’m sure Honey will adapt, after all she’ll have what matters most you and your husband!

Oh boy, that’s a small boat…I think that the fact that her family will be together all day, every day will make up for some of the things that she will miss. I worry our dogs will miss thier favorite parks or walks, but luckily we always find new ones.

Those are some big changes for all of you — living on a boat. As you know, adding a border collie puppy to the house last weekend means some big changes here. So far so good. I’m sure all of you will adjust to the sailing adventure .

I never thought about all the things you will be giving up, and Honey too. I am sure with you and Mike there to support her she will be fine and you will find a way to make it work. I think the above suggestions of slowly introducing new things to her now would be a good idea. So that she can be use to as much as possible before the move.

Completely off topic but when I read ” I most look forward to spending the day with my husband Mike and Honey” I thought that your husband and Mike were too different people and thought you’d gotten yourself another man to join you on board. I thought perhaps you were trying out a completely different life style – brings a whole new spin to the ‘boat that rocks’ title!

Holy moly, I’m so excited for you!

Well I think its true that the most important thing for dogs is to be with their people. And it sounds like you’re putting so much thought into addressing her needs, that she’ll be able to adapt. I certainly think some dogs are more adaptable than others, and Honey is for sure one of the more resilient and amenable to change because of how well you’ve raised her. I look forward to following your adventures!

In reply to Pamela. Maybe she'll jump overboard to do her business! This is so exciting, what a change!

I think Honey will do fine with you and Mike there, as I’m sure you will be anticipating her needs very well.

Typically my guys let me know if something is bothering them and I work to help ease whatever that worry might be and make sure they are comfortable. Typically as long as they are with me, they are content or at the very least comfortable.
