His leash is always attached to something. I proved invaluable when our previous dog fell overboard twice and was held against the boat by the harness and the leash (and not his neck!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560175812061997147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094657631101054024.post-71816471422498475462015-05-26T17:59:22.316-04:002015-05-26T17:59:22.316-04:00Thank you for sharing this.

We haven't been out alone yet, and haven't introduced our 2 old dogs to their new part time home. We have to make some adaptations to allow access. I'm reading as much as I can find from other boaters in an attempt to be as prepared as I can. Your blog is so informative!<br />Sara & HughSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619369158736633543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094657631101054024.post-39910033551704387172014-12-12T16:13:19.515-05:002014-12-12T16:13:19.515-05:00Thanks to your offering through Defender a few Dec...Thanks to your offering through Defender a few Decembers back, Todd and I use Eartec now as well. They are so much nicer than the Cruising Solutions headsets we had before. Of course, in my estimation any headset communications is better than none at all.<br /><br />Now we need to get a harness for Charlie that doesn't loosen. His current harness has to be tightened every time I put it on...even with the stays that are supposed to keep it from loosening. If you come across a good harness that's reliable, I know you'll pass on the information.<br /><br />Thanks for all the information, hours of dedication and help you afford the cruising community. We so appreciate you two!
