I figured that Travis has such a popular dog (BOCCE), And he does not want to look like a geeky dog owner. I figured I would start the Bocce thread. So post away people. Why not show us your doggy in the process too. Never met Bocce personally, but I intend to when I head to FL at The Boarding School this year.

Thanks Andrew. I will do just that. My wife likes Dobies. Our friends have a 6 year old female. Words to the wise....my wife was watching their kids last week. This Doberman got a stick of butter off the counter and ate the whole thing. Never knew this, but high amounts of fat is poison to your dog. The owner Scott..is a vet and said to give her hydrogen peroxide to get her to hurl the butter up. dog didn't hurl..she had to go into work and visit her Daddy. Today she is doing fine. I known of dogs to grab stuff off counters and what not. Didn't know high volumes of fat is poison to them. Just an FYI for ya.

dark chocolate is bad for them too. can be an issue with smaller dogs

Ryan <BR>My husky LOVES the boat! She will chase the truck down when Im going to hook it up.

She loves the water too, she jumps out and cools down while we are getting ready to ride. Your pup looks just like her when she was that age - he's going to love it!

Bocce went to be bathroom on the back of the boat once when he was really young. Luckily he was little and he did it on the sundeck. Chase Heaver's dog took a massive dump on my platform once as well. But, I say it's worth running the risk.
