BABIES ON BOATS..... Family Fun or Dreadful Disaster?! 😳

We had my 1 year old nephew over at our houseboat for the first time recently... What a memorable visit! Gotta start 'em young, right?! Unfortunately, we took a hard left from the joy of having my family over to a few days of nonstop worrying about our 8-year-old Akita, Iko. Luckily, it seemed that the new dinghy helped lift everyone's spirits! (the shots MIGHT have had something to do with it too. Lol)

    It cures whatever is bothering their stomach. It stops them throwing up almost instantly. In Canada, in all pet stores they sell it in little packets but you can buy a can of purée in the grocery store. Not 😅pumpkin pie filling make sure it’s purée. My cousin in England hasn’t heard of it either. Our vets here will tell you to get pumpkin !! Use it anytime if a dog seems to be off their food too. It works!! Glad you have more time for yourselves. Enjoy🎉🎉❤

Happy you got to see your family, it's always good to see family when they live away. Now, silly ? The new dinghy is really nice. tilt motor, electric start, wow , but why don't ya'll invest in a pontoon boat for yourself. Seems like that would be the most practical way of transportation. But, i don't really know, seems like you could do a lot more with a pontoon. Just saying. Really enjoyed your video !!

    She really was pitiful for a bit there! So happy she’s doing well again💙 thank you. Ya know we’ve thought about it a good bit but the thing is we just always have access to plenty of pontoons when we need em for hauling stuff or entertaining friends/family, between the rentals at the marina & our pal’s boats. The dinghy’s are just SO dang easy for our day-to-day scooting about haha. Never have to worry about finding space to dock at the marina, they fit between boats anywhere. Sooo easy for taking iko to potty, & no upholstery to worry about getting filthy. Easy to dock when it’s super windy, never have to worry about damaging them or damaging other people’s boats with them. I guess we just like how much they simplify things on the day to day. But having access to pontoons for certain situations is pretty invaluable!
