REAL REVIEWS FROM FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS (AND THEIR HUMANS!)
"Otis is my 2 year old crazy Cockapoo. He has a real zest for life and loves new adventures and experiences. Most of all, he loves to play fetch up on the hill with his bestie Buddy. We have been moored here for 2 years but Otis is still surprised when a boat goes by. I've figured out that from his perspective he can only see humans floating past the window and just wants to meet and greet them. Suffice to say Otis makes himself known and is always up for cuddles."
"Niko loves to chill out at the marina, enjoying the sunshine on the bow or relaxing among the daisies. After a serious accident, Niko faced a tough journey to recovery. We carried him around, pushed him in his pram, and did physio with him three times a day.
When the vets said he might never walk again, we measured him up and his amazing friend Bertie's parents gifted him a set of wheels! Now, Niko is living his best life, racing around on his little wheels and cherishing every moment on the boat with his family."
"This is Ada, she is a 9 month old cream whippet who loves her time aboard Narrowboat Moonlight.
She can frequently be found releasing her zoomies on the hill opposite the jetty. Her favourite things are ice cream and her pink stuffed pig. She loves to watch the wildlife in the marina, but absolutely detests ducks walking on the roof in the morning."
"Indie loves boating life, she gets so excited when we start the engine up!
She is 13 now and is very nosey and such a princess as all who know her know!
She is rather fond of the 3 o’clock club on Sundays in the Boathouse Cafe as she gets a roast potato!"
