What a face. Resisting a smile is futile

The best thing about friends with dogs is that you get to play with them, and they have to feed them, walk them and clean up after them.

This is Maddie. Maddie, who lives on a boat, barks like crazy when she sees dolphins. She also recently saw a sperm whale. Mom and dad say she started to bark, but then stopped dead in her tracks and just stared in awe.

Just in case you see Maddie in town, or near home in Great Cruz Bay, her favorite snack is a carrot.

    What a life!

    What are we doing wrong? I would love to live on a boat on St. John and float to relax all day.

    They say “It’s a Dog’s Life”

    Have a good day – it’s 15 degrees here in New Jersey.

    I can see in Maggie’s eyes that she LOVES living the life of a ‘saltydog’…….

    Awwwwwww!

    Haven’t we seen Maddie before???

    If it’s required to bark at dolphins in order to live on someone’s boat in the Caribbean, I’m gonna put in Flipper (the movie and tapes from the tv show) and bark until I lose my voice!!!!

    All those carrots helps Maddie see the dolphins better!

    Central Indiana is at 7 degrees :o (
    Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!….

    Doesn’t get any cuter then that! I see on th St John Spice web cam that it is raining down there! So all of us shouldn’t feel too bad about the cold temps! However I would much rather be in a warm rain shower then freezing snowy weather! :)

    Maddie is very observant just like all Yellow Labs. Our Tessie loves carrots too but she has to get them in snowy CT.

    What a doll! Maybe she could run a dolphin finding tour. I volunteer to help in any way I can.
