 We all end in the ocean. We all start in the streams. Life happens in the present. Reality is now. What is, is.  A ship is safe in harbour, but that's not what ships are for. William Shedd  Being on a boat that's moving through the water, it's so clear. Everything falls into place in terms of what's important and what's not.

AtS Season 5 versus Extended Version LOTR Return of the King?
Choices... Both are vital. But LOTR does lack Spike.
And both are possible from the savings we shall make.
If you fill out the poll, I'm sure there will be improvements forthcoming.
Kind of Pinups for Dogs :)
But they're not both natural water-going dogs; the shepherd is. She started her boaty career at 12 weeks and was taught to swim by the local boatyard's gun dog, Annie. The terrier, on the other hand is an orphan - adopted when he was a year old. He never ceases to tell me is allergic to water in all its forms. He much prefers tea to drink and bathes only when circumstances dictate. He fell in, hunting rats on the bank, twice last year, so that counts as his annual bath for the next two years, doen't it?
Jasper is "meh" on water - he doesn't fight his bath, but he HATES the toweling after. I have no idea why.
Cache HATES the water, and tries to leap out the entire time. Now, we call Cache our circus dog, because he can leap so high. So bathtimes with him are an adventure.
Carrie ADORES baths. She lies down in the water, loves when I get the nozzle out to rinse her off, stretches, and has twice actually jumped into the tub when I was in it. The last time, I had lavendar and eucalyptus scent in there with me - she smelled beautiful!
For how long?
The Shepherd (KILO) doesn't really like bathing, but show her a stretch of water and she's really difficult to get out - she thinks she's a retriever.
Before these two, we had two Shepherds (sisters) who never really liked the water. That made it really easy to keep them on board. Kilo has this habit of going AWAL any time we moor up. We once went for a leisurely French lunch (3 hours) at the local Auberge, and returned to find that Kilo had let them both out. She was swimming in the canal with the local kids, the terrier (ASH) was hunting on the bank. One of the locals told us they'd got out shortly after we'd left the boat.
If i had your life, I'd have to get those little lifevests they sell for doxies. Doxies don't hate to swim, but they don't have great stamina at it.
My mouse has died on me and the replacement one is doing silly things like opening programs and whizzing all over the screen. It's not happy with XP, I think and there don't seem to be new drivers to upload for it. Need to get a new USB mouse along with the subscription to broadband.
