You really don't sleep saildog. What do you do for a living that allows you to galavant the web all night?

This thread is like 2 years old! I asked similar questions on another boat site about my dog, he is a genius schnauzzer. (that's the breed...genius schnauzzer) I am completely irrational about him too (just like the crazy dog lady). I would get rid of my boat before I would get rid of my dog.
I thought it was hilarious when she called saildog a stupid american over him saying her dogs breed maybe considered vicious.
Anyway I am trying to devise a way for him to get up on deck from the cabin, maybe an elevator. Maybe not an elevator but I have the steps in my shop right now trying to devise a way to make them more genius schnauzzer friendly.

Perhaps a handle on his back. Then you can just grab and toss

try making a ramp... You'd be surprised at how steep a ramp a dog can climb.... not so good for people..but dogs do fine on them...having two extra feet and all.

Of course, if you have a smaller variant of genius schnauzzer...give PBz's handle a try.

sheeesh...some serious hatred toward man's best friend!

If admiral didn't have asthma we would take a dog along. They are great to have around for many reasons...and food isn't one of them!

I guess cleaning a baby diaper would be reason for tossing babies overboard? Considering the support for abortion in ths country I suppose it could be. If wife gets seasick, toss her over too?

Way ahead of you on the dog handle. That was our first trip kayaking last summer. After he got over his fear of water we didn't even put it on him anymore. We had a really good dog psycologist help him with the fear of water. But at $100 an hour 5 times a week it was getting expensive.
There was a story of a guy down in Fla., his dog got nabbed by a shark. The guy dove in and punched the shark and the shark let go. The dog lived.
I wonder if the guy was like 'what was I thinkning?' after the fact. It was probably just instinct to save his dog.
Some people don't understand the whole psyco irrational love people have for their dogs. I don't understand how people love the thought of having kids so much that they actually choose to have them.

(Just to be clear, I was the dog psycologist. I didn't charge $100 an hour and my method of getting him over his fear was to throw in him in enough times that eventually it wasn't that big of deal to him.)

I bet you were real popular in the locker room. I sure don't want to know what you ended up finding out in there. Yeesh. I'm not even sure what you're talking about, but it's disturbing whatever it is.

Sorry fellas, but when I saw this article I could'nt help to resurrect this old thread.

Man barbeques pet dog, no charges laid

A New Zealand man who cooked his pet dog in a backyard pit cannot be prosecuted, because it was killed humanely.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says inspectors arrived at the South Auckland home to find the pitbull terrier-cross skinned, gutted, and partially charred.

The puzzled owner, Paea Taufa, says dog is a delicacy in Tonga and he had knocked it unconscious with a blow to the head before slitting its throat.

The SPCA says cultural differences aside, it is unacceptable.

But killing a dog is not illegal in New Zealand if the animal is slaughtered swiftly and painlessly.
