I enjoyed the story. So sorry to hear that Bilbo has seen his last sailing
trip. I have really enjoyed seeing pics of him accompanying you on all your
sailing trips. I understand, as only another dog lover can, how
difficult it is to
see your friend of so many years starting to struggle.
I'm reminded of my Lab, Mandy, who was barely four when I got my M15
and passed away 12 years ago at the age of 13. She was a great
sailor although she preferred the cabin when things were rough or we
were beating, and came out into the cockpit when we ran with the
wind. The Monty has a great deck for doggy paws, and the dogs (two
other Labs as well) loved it. Now I have corgis and their legs are
just a little too short to make them good boat dogs, so I leave them
home.
