| Boatin with Yorkies Well, Summers just around the corner and time to get the boat out! My hubby said we shouldn't take Charlie out on the boat because he's small and might not like the bumps. I think we should and plus I saw this life vest at Petco and think charlie would be safe wearing it. Do any of you have any experiance taking your yorkies out for boat rides or should I listen to the hubby? |

| Our Kenji used to love going out in our speed boat with us, Kass was petrified of it so I guess it depends on the dog. Kenji slipped off it once and scared us to death even though he had a life jacket on. It didnt fizz him a bit we still had to watch him like a hawk to keep him from running up on the bow the second the boat stopped.

| in summer, we take our boat out at the very least 3 times a week and ours love it. They wear their life jackets and they like to float on the floaties with us too. Ours has an underneath cabin they can go in and take a snooze, but they are usually out there with us doing whatever we do Here's some pics of mine enjoying lake-life.

YT 500 Club Member | We have kayaks, and Sophie has a life vest. She rides for a while, and then she wants to be passed back and forth from my boat to my husband's. It gets old after a while. She has also jumped in the water a couple times, and I am not really sure whether she likes it or not. We will probably take her once and a while, but sometimes we just want to relax, and she is definitely high maintenance.

| Our boyz loved our boat last summer, I just kept their leashes on so I could keep track of them. I'm hoping the girls will enjoy it this summer too! |

| My husband and I take our three out in the boat with us. They wear their lifejackets and I think they really like it as long as the water isn't too rough. |

| There is a picture in my avatar with Murfee and my husband on the boat. He has a life jacket but wasn't wearing it at the time.

| My sister takes her yorkie out on her boat all the time. She puts a life jacket on her and they have a blast. We had a silky that loved the water! In fact, some of my fondest memories of him are at the lake/beach. |
