Douglas on the ocean wave

Douglas's life-jacket came in the post this week, very exciting. It's time he was introduced to my boat. Here he is, modelling new fashion accessory on the Firth of Forth.

And here is a close-up of the well-dressed boy. De rigueur?

And here is the boy with passing buoy.

As will be clear by now, Douglas was hardly awake during the entire experience:

Everything was very tiring:

However, here we are arrived back in the harbour, all safe:

I cant wait till the next time:

Great photos!

Was he ok wearing his lifejacket?

Great pics
I'm sure next time he goes and stays awake, he will love it  

Yes, he got on fine with his life-jacket. When I got Douglas (from the SSPCA in Glasgow) in February, it was freezing cold. In fact, it remained freezing cold in Scotland right through till mid April. I had thought of getting him a little coat to keep him warm during this time when outdoors, but he was very hyper when new out of the rescue and had developed some nasty habits, including trying to bite his way out of his harness, chewing through his lead etc. I considered that buying him a coat would have been a waste of money as he would have shredded it in moments. So I was doubtful that the life-jacket would be ok - he could just rip it apart. However, it's a sign of how much Douglas has settled in, chilled out, and gained confidence that he doesnt exhibit this kind of behaviour anymore. We're still working on things, but he's much happier now.

Aww fab pics, looks like he found it nice & relaxing

Wow, that looks like fun

Great pics!

Aww Douglas looks very much at home on the ocean waves, fab pics:)
