I know that as soon as I add milk to my cereal (with fresh fruit), my dogs will decide it's time to get up and demand their beach break. So I think I'll just take them now so I can enjoy breakfast when we get back. #DogsOfMastodon #BoatDogs #boating

I forgot to bring their dog blanket, which I usually put on the bench seat at the table on the boat. They don't really like to sit on the vinyl. So I put a pillow on the seat and they are kind of sharing it. #BoatDogs #boating #DogsOfMastodon

These #BoatDogs are dog tired. We hiked a total of 4 miles today in very hilly terrain. #DogsOfMastodon #boating

My pups were wet and cold after their walk in the rain this morning and I didn't want them going back to bed — MY bed — so I covered them up with my sweatshirt on the bench seat. They're sleeping peacefully now. #DogsOfMastodon #boating #BoatDogs

It's a terrible photo, but it looks like my two girls are settled down. I'm on a big boat with three staterooms but I don't get one of the staterooms because I'm the hired help. Instead, I have to sleep on the sofa. We're the only ones on board tonight, but I don't want to mess up any of the beds. My girls will spend one night with me and then four nights in boarding and then one more night with me on board this boat before my boat is ready for our cruise. #boating #BoatDogs #DogsOfMastodon

Nika will sit out on the front deck all day soaking up the sun and watching the various critters go by; while I do boat yoga in the engine room. Not. Fair. #Alaska #Seward #BoatLife #BoatDogs #DogsOfMastodon
