We just returned last night from our two-and-a-half day trip to Half Moon Bay and back. As you can see from the photo, the dogs had an absolutely horrible time of it.

Dog gone good time

Did the dogs say it was "rough! rough!" or am I "barking" up the wrong tree? . If you had a cat they might have thought it "purrrrrfect"weather.

Yeah - Bertha had a real tough time this weekend too. Here she is pulling lookout duty as we motor out of the harbor. She usually perches in front of the mast & sits there at attention looking forward.

peeing on board

In reply to Phil - actually, my dogs made me ferry them to shore; they refuse to do their business on board. I've tried everything. I put down a piece of carpet and covered it with the ground cover we have in our front yard. I even made sure to pick up some of the ground cover that they had just pee'd on. It didn't work. I tried setting the example myself; they ignored me. I suppose if I'd just not taken them ashore, that eventually they'd break down and do it on the deck, but I'm too weak for them.

Anybody have any other suggestions?

Stella can hold it all the way to Beaver Isle.

Stella can go 10 hours or so if needed. She tunnels down in under a pile of blankets and just waits it out. We tried all of the other suggestions too.
