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 is great to see Iko is doing better! I hate it when our loved ones that cannot tells us what is wrong when they get sick.

That is probably the worst part 💔 her not being able to tell us what’s wrong. So glad she’s feeling better too. Thank you!
You and your sister couldn't deny each other if you tried... look-alike for sure. Glad you have more time for the good times! So glad sweet bear is feeling better! It was great to see her dancing at the end! 🤗

@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses most gut issues for human's & pets are caused by parasites. Micro or macro (worms). I would recommend that you both & your pup do a parasite cleanse.
So glad Iko is on the mend. How wonderful to spend time with your family…that little guy is adorable! Congrats on being able to have some free time and spontaneity, again! Hope y’all have a wonderful weekend!

My outdoor kitty will kill chipmunks sometimes and my mini Schnauzer will get ahold of them occasionally. I try to keep Purina FortiFlora on hand just in case my pup gets an upset tummy. It's a good probiotic 😁 Happy Miss Bear got to feeling better ❤
What stress to see little Iko feeling rough. Great to know that she seems to have bounced back really well. Love that little Memphis! A great family!

Our son had his first boat ride at one month. He grew up on and around boats and learned to respect the water and boat safety. Love watching your videos and can't wait to see how you manage on the water during the winter.

So sure felt your concern when she wasn’t feeling well. Nice to see her doing the jig of happiness again! T&C!

You should always have pumpkin purée on hand for dogs it fixes almost all issues with stomach. If they eat something they shouldn’t or whatever it may be, it fixes them. ❤

Ah we hadn’t heard that one before! Does it soothe their stomach or induce vomiting to get rid of whatever is bugging them?
@teresajames5993

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🎉🎉❤

Good Gravy, That little girl was purty darn sick, Bless her little little Heart. I have a female australian shepherd, So glad she got some meds. feeling much better, back to old self. 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!
