Meet the Salty Sea Dogs

We are Monique & Chris! And Sandi, Brownie & Lucy are our three sea-going dogs!

Sandi was a street dog we rescued and made part of our family some time ago. She has four beautiful puppies - Brownie, Lucy, Lulu and Floyd. Lulu and Floyd live just down the road with Chris’s Mom; and Brownie and Lucy live with us and Sandi.

Meet the Salty Sea Dogs

Sandi, Brownie and Lucy all love going to sea with us, and we love having them along for the ride. They are savvy and experienced sea dogs, and never jump over board. We do, however, always have their doggie life-jackets on hand, just in case the going gets rough!

They are also excellent at spotting all the marine animals we find on our adventures, of which there are many!

Sandi used to get seasick, but having gone to sea so many times now, she has her ‘sea legs’ and has no trouble at all. At sea, she gets very excited when we find any marine creature, and normally takes to barking with a very loud and sharp yap!

She is very sassy and loves to be in charge. She is definitely the Top Dog. She also takes her ‘job’ of being Mum to Brownie and Lucy very seriously. She loves to lick and groom them, even though they are big adult dogs now.

When we take her for a walk, we have to make sure she is on a lead as she loves to cause trouble with other unsuspecting dogs!

Brownie loves adventure and exploring. When she is at sea, she normally stands up at the bow of the boat, looking ahead with her ears flapping in the wind. This is her favorite place!

Despite her adventurous spirit, she can be very shy around people she doesn’t know. But, within our family, she loves to have a big cuddle and lie on the couch all day, when she is not at sea of course!

When we take her on walks, she likes to pull very hard on her lead!

Lucy

Sister to Brownie and Sandi’s puppy

Lucy has the best ‘sea legs’ of all the salty sea dogs. She really understands how the boat moves with the ocean, and even when it’s very rough, she is as solid as a rock. She is happy to just calmly ride along, but as soon as we find a sea animal, she shakes and wobbles with trembles of excitement!

She is a very sensitive dog and hates getting into trouble! She loves to be a good girl and listens to us all the time, she doesn’t even pull on her lead when we go for a walk.
