I`m extremelyreticent ( can one say that?) to complain to the management but enough people are up in arms about it, that I am afraid somebody will and it will be the dog that suffers?

You are a big softie, Robin. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Surely the worst/best that can happen is that she leaves the dog on board while she does her ablutions. Unless of course you drop it a poisoned bone /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Which is more important, your comfort and quality of life or the dog's?

Ya know........ those shower blocks aren't exactly sound proof, surely while she's having her ablute she can hear her dog barking /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Is this the action of a responsible dog owner, letting the little bu /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gifer get stressed for half an hour ?

Marina management are to blame too ....... painting the deck of the west and east jettys green .... poor animals think its grass /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Depends how patient you are. She intends to leave early next year, taking the boat down to the Med and beyond? wherever. Really strange, if its the person I am thinking of, the dog is controlled and hardly barks at all on the pontoon, even when left for hours on board alone, strange, maybe different dog, but there cant be that many live aboard single women with small cute dogs in Brighton marina.
Personaly I am not keen on dogs, but I guess if you are a dog lover the canine smell is accpeted. Its probably less on a boat because we all tend to have more ventilation with doors and windows open much more. Not for me though!!
There was a grime prog on the TV last night about two dog owners. Presenter concluded that dogs were just "poo machines"

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the brains of we humans have the ability to block out certain familiar smells - e.g., our own body odours, the whiffs around our houses (including doggy whiffs), etc. in order that we may continue to smell other, "new" smells. Something to do with our caveman/hunting days or summat.

Apparantly, that's the reason most owners say their own dogs don't smell - even if they reek like a three-week dead horse.

Can anyone else add to this, or am I talking out of my botty ?
