We now have two dogs. Our Airdale, pictured on my avitar, will be 7 years old this summer. She has participated on all of our fishing trips, and loves it, She's my fishing partner. Have to be careful when we get a fish on though as she hangs out over the edge of the boat, along with everone else. She has gone in the drink a time or two.
The other is a yellow Lab my wife got last year. With a couple trips under her belt, she also loves the boat and waiting for the fish to be caught. Sometimes we disappoint them.
Both do extremely well in the boat and they'll be making all our future trips as well. Our selection of Lodges is somewhat limited as not many accept pets, so we end up back at the same places year after year.
