[nagdu] Taking dogs on ferries/water taxis?

[Larry D Keeler]

Well, I've been on lots of boats as welol! Usually at the end of a fishing 
pole! but not always. I have driven speed boats and skied behind them. Over 
here in Michigan we have lots of places to put boats down in. But, I also 
have never taken a dog. I've taken them fishing but, they were running 
around in the woods chasing each other and god knows what else in there! 
They always came back ok though. I want to take Holly in a canoe or better 
yet, on a pontoon. That way, we could go swimming and get back on the thing.
