  1. My 12 month old Shep. It took me 2 months and lots of fence work ($) to figure out she can jump over a 7 ft 5 inch fence but not a 7ft 6 inch high fence :(

    She's a lovely dog and so damned determined when she puts her mind to something. There's lots of training and exercise ahead for both of us.

  2. That's rotten, Mick. I hope that dude doesn't expect another deckie spot with you.

    When I skipper I am happy with just a bag of pillies or a bag of ice. I bring extra food and water along too because it's amazing how many deckies only think about what fishing gear to bring but forget something to eat . I don't ask for fuel money as I would have been heading out any way. An offer to help clean down the boat is always welcomed but it doesn't take me long to do so I usually decline that too.

    But when I deckie, I always offer to pay my own way even if I am not asked to. However, it can be awkward for a deckie. Like me, some skippers do things a certain way so sometimes it's better for a deckie just to stand back and watch unless the skipper asks for help as I've had gear wrecked by a deckie being "helpful". Communication and courtesy is the key to a good trip.
