Jobe is looking great in his Dog Flotation Device.
Comfortable. Secure fit but loose fitting to allow him to
run up and down the dock and get around the island.
Jobe wanted everyone to know the flotation device
is a wise choice for dogs on boats, especially fellow Jack Russells and other small breeds.
A dog was lost last year down on Marrowstone Point and others have
nearly drowned. So, be watching your dog around swift, strong currents
that kick up on every tide change at the Point. It's like a river down there
and a dog swimming into the current can be carried half way to Whidbey Island
before you know what's happening.
Another water concern is when dogs chase otters. Otters have become
more abundant on Marrowstone in recent years and are well known
as great teasers............tempting dogs into the water, swimming out a bit more,
then leading even the strongest dog into trouble.
I now leash Monsoon when we get to Marrowstone Point and other
otter crossings. Leashes, Dog Flotation Devices, and paying attention
all make sense when your dog is around Big Water.
Jobe's Pet Saver Lifejacket is from Outward Hound -
high quality dog gear.
Jobe can be seen most days down at Mystery Bay,
leashed and life jacketed when appropriate.
