Well there was a lot of things during this trip that we said "who would have thought" This was one we didn't plan on.. Having to say goodbye to our longtime pal.. She was 11 years old and had some complications that were getting worse over time until we had to make a hard decision at the vets office in Crescent City, CA. They were very kind to us and her during this difficult time and assured us she would be "chasing birds soon" and finally without pain. We like to think she is still riding with us...
She will be and is missed everyday and we were happy that we could spend so much time with her on this trip for the past three months. We travel the way we do because we enjoy taking her with us. She traveled to many states on this trip (about 8500 miles) and she spent about three months with us cruising in the trawler from our home in NC to the Florida Keys and back in 2003. She can tell all her new friends all about her adventures..
Keeping watch while I navigate the waterways.. Making sure I don't miss any seagulls!
Starting out on this trip, she was scared to go out on deck because the wind was blowing her hair! She wanted to get out there so bad that she got used to it. This picture was at anchor in Islamorada, FL. She was watching fish while hanging off the bow. So much for that fear she started out with..
