Well prepared...

This boat was traveling down the Weeki Wachee River, headed out toward the Gulf. Note the life preservers on the two dalmatians.

What a beautiful pair on the bow of the boat. It looks like they are use to being up there and enjoying the ride. It has be be refreshing for them with the heat. I'm glad you pointed out the life vests I didn't see them at first. They are well matched. Fun image.

@Barbara: Many boats went by but this was the only one with dogs in full view, and well-protected ones at that!

That's a riot....life preservers on the dogs, but not the people...just shows who's important, huh???

@Susan: I wonder what they had to pay to buy the dogs? :D

I think the dalmatians are their children....therefore....very precious! There are plenty of people who get confused this way nowadays!

@Japanalia: Well, dogs are far less expensive to raise than children, and love you unconditionally! *smile*
