Sea legs

Shadow & Pete (the dogs) went fishing with Kirk yesterday. They have been on a boat before and handled it quite well. This time was a new experience for them. The water was choppy!

I can relate. I guess dogs are like people sometimes. Some can handle rough waters and others can't. It seems that Pete is like me. Poor little fellow got sea sick a few times.

Years ago, sailing across Lake Ontario, we sailed through a thunder storm. I was told to watch the horizon and eventually I would get my sea legs? I didn't understand it then and I don't now, but it did help a little bit. I just know, when I got sick I could lean overboard.

So when Kirk was explaining his adventure I got thinking, Pete couldn't watch the horizon and he has four short legs and no way to lean overboard. He may never want to go on a boat again. Well the phrase we get here in Canada "get over it". I'm sure he did.
