Ruby has turned into a fishing nut and get down right fretful if Mike leaves without her. She seemingly is so puzzled about the whales, birds and fish (that Mike seems to never come home with!) --- we forget, its all new to her...the sights, sounds, smells. She has had her first hose shower and shampoo after rolling in something quite dead and quite stinky on the beach. All in all,she has adapted well to the boating life in the north country - other than an accident on Sunseeker's bow, she has been very well behaved from a potty stand point. She now understands that when she is on the dinghy in the morning going to shore, she is to do her business and get back for breakfast...there appears to be no dawdling!! Good thing, because I am always concerned that there are wolves or bears around. Best to see them from the boat. 
If the water is anything but flat calm, she pants her little face off and eventually tires herself out enough to sleep. Ruby does not like anything more than a one foot chop and certainly doesn't like ocean swells. Thank god we haven't had any long days of any rough weather! She loves to sleep on the bow at night or as in the case of the other night when there was a bit of ocean swell coming into our bay, she likes to sleep on our heads! We have had her out running on beaches and she loves going for evening dinghy rides!All for now, running out of internet time.......
