i have been meaning to ask you.....your pup, did I read correctly that he is a Jack Russel?? I didn't realize that there were furry Jack Russels? On of our dock neighbors adopted a rescue last summer and Roscoe the dock dog looks nothing like yours. In Saint Bernard terms we would call Roscoe a smooth coat and your guy a rough coat. Being that our Saint has been gone for almost a year now we are gently toying with the idea of a new friend that is a little more boat friendly sized.
