Dadpad

I’m a great big fan of all things nautical.

I do spend the majority of my time in the mountains, but I love the ocean and I love boats.

This is partly because my human uncle is a wotten-waven sailor and fisherman in Alaska and in Puget Sound. Last summer he took us on a super fun sailing trip.

My uncle is now living on a boat called the “Dadpad,” which I had the privilege of visiting.

My human cousins love being on the water with their dad. On the “Dadpad,” they formally introduced me to Yugi, who was visiting from Canada.

Yugi is a top-notch canine athlete. He excels at dog sports, particularly Frisbee fetching. He even has a special cape he wears that brings him extra super powers. Yugi is both an outdoor enthusiast and a sophisticated urbanite who carries his own leash while promenading on downtown sidewalks.

Yugi and I are very upset about Canada's withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol. As we discussed Canadian environmental policy on the “Dadpad,” I expressed my disappointment by barking while Yugi growled.
