My girlfriend and I took our 10 year old chihuahua on his first fishing trip on the boat, mind you he loves to fish from the shore so we thought that he would do alright in the boat. Well, he started pacing the minute we got 5 feet from the dock, after a few minutes he realized that he was not going to get wet and settled down beside my seat and watched as we trolled through the water. After about an hour or so of fishing my girlfriend caught a fish and Pete did his usual "sniff the fish to make sure it wasn't going to hurt us" routine then settled back down beside me. We were all relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet when all of the sudden the sky opened up and it was a drenching downpour. Poor Pete tried his hardest to find a dry spot on the boat but to no avail, and after about 10 minutes of pacing back and forth between the front and back of the boat he settled down next to me again and with every breath he released he whined. We finally got back to the dock and I thought the old boy was going to break his neck getting out of the boat and onto land.
A few days went by and we decided to go again. We asked Pete if he wanted to go and sure enough he ran to the door and did his little dance. We took him and this time it didn't rain, he even got brave and lifted up to look over the side of the boat.....I think we may have a chihuahua that hates water but, loves to get in the boat.
Our next trip on a nice day we plan on taking our 6 month old chihuahua out with us and get him used to riding as well....I am excited to see how he does.
