About Forest

Forest is the ultimate boat dog.  She seems to love everything about living on the boat.  She loves swimming and playing fetch off the stern best of all.  But then she really looks forward to finding a sandy beach to run on, play fetch on and body surf the waves.  She requires a daily "dingy" ride around whatever anchorage we happen to be in and, when tied off the stern of the boat, can be found waiting patiently on one of our paddle boards, for a paddle board ride as well. Her favorite evening activity however, is the nightly "beer" time on the bow.  About an hour before sunset, she will position herself out in the front cockpit and wait.  If we don't show up within a few minutes, she will start barking for us.  Once we show up, with cocktails in hand, she will grab her designated chew bone, and start "having a beer" with us.  She will not even touch the chew bone at any other time of the day and we have to be present with our beverages for her to do this. She also makes sure we go to bed at the appropriate time by taking herself down to our bed, fluffing the bedding and once again, she waits.  If we're not in bed within a certain time, she once again barks for us. It's pretty cute.  But we're careful not to give in too often, due to the "pack" rules we need to keep in order.
