I'm TOTALLY in agreement, Mo. I lived on a boat for 7 years...and walked Tarsea Da'Pug. We were on a large boat. On a slip across from us a gorgeous German Shepherd lived on a small sailboat (maybe 20ft, single hull, single mast). He would never leave the boat, lay on top of the boat, watching the boats going by...went to work at the restaurant some days, but mostly stayed "home" and watched. Went running with his owner most days in the evening. His contenment was tangible. Made me realize buying 2 GSD pups while living in the townhouse was not only doable, but perfectly o.k. for the dogs. And it was. Tarsea Da'Pug, Moxie and Sassy (and the two cats) all did just fine.
