Time Out For Baxter

Baxter and my daughter have moved on after spending the summer here. I miss my daughter but do not miss the dog.  He destroyed a lot of things in my home and just did not work out well with me or the cats.  The cats don't usually mind dogs but Baxter was to say the least, rambunctious. He was pretty cute though and one could find a few endearing qualities if willing to look really hard. He was on the boat with us and needed a time out so we set him out to sea for a while to cool off.  It worked wonderfully.

If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat.  ~Author Unknown

I cannot detect his mood here Mary - inscrutable!
Mary MacADNski: He can be so, so bad and so, so cute.

Does "Airhead" describe Baxter, Mary?
Mary MacADNski: I was so hoping someone would pick that up.
Sounds like a month out alone on the ocean is what the pooch needs.

kidding ... honest

Mary MacADNski: I'm not kidding in I agree with you. I've definitely learned I'm a car person.

An appropriately named raft, Mary! I hope that life can return to normal for the cats now that Baxter has gone.
Mary MacADNski: I'm still putting the house in order after lifting everything off the floor while he was here. He destroyed many things. They're coming for the weekend a couple of weeks from now. Shudder!!!!
Everything should be back to normal now Mary!
Fine capture.

Up the River without a Paddle?
Mary MacADNski: Ha ha. He gets very red around the mouth when he is bothered or upset. You can tell how tired he is that way as well. You can see how red he is here - very hyped up!
A worrying experience..especially when you have cats Mary...Still..you can rest now.
Mary MacADNski: The cats held their own but he was quite bothersome with always pouncing on them in a wish to play. They were not amused!.
I prefer cats too. Good shot.
Mary MacADNski: They are so much easier. Thanks, Albert.

Looks like a boxer, those dogs have way to much energy. Very loving dogs though
Mary MacADNski: He is very loving, especially to my daughter. He's affectionate but feisty. Hopefully he will stop chewing as he'll be a year old soon.
I really like the caption on the tube!! too funny .... smile
Mary MacADNski: It fits well.
lol poor soul he looks teriffied tongue He'll be back to normal once on dry land. Lovely capture.
Mary MacADNski: He's not scared, just angry. He was flipping out on the boat. He gets tat way and this was the perfect solution. He'd already been for a swim but needed more time to cool off.
I could tell he was a handful before I read your comments! Quite partial to cheeky dogs, myself. Nice shot. All the best, Dave.
Mary MacADNski: He is nice 90% of the time but the other 10% he is a holy terror. If he was mine I would give him to someone who likes cheeky dogs.
Lol smile So funny !
Mary MacADNski: He was a bad boy!
He looks abundle of mischief Mary.
Mary MacADNski: That is exactly what he is with his little red snout.
