the new member of our crew aka the sea urchin

Welcome aboard!
It's a boy!
12 lbs 2 ozs
18 ins. long
4 furry paws
and a tail!
this is our salty sea dog Scupper. he is a pug schitzu mix (pug-shit)


our 1 year anniversary is comming up soon so for our present, we went to the local animal shelter and got a dog.

aaaarrrrrrgggggggggggggg..........he's a wee bilge rat!

he seems to have made himself home all over the boat where ever there is a comfortable spot to sleep. a little shy with people but he's not afraid of any dog no matter how big. he's got the big dog attitude in his wee little body.




we took him for a hike atop Mt. Tamalpias a few days ago. (Jim says-mt. tamalpias is the birth place of the mountain bike) see how happy he is? he just loved it. we were a little worried about him keeping up, with his short little legs and all, but he did fine, infact, we had to keep up with him, except any up hill parts, he didnt like those! but hey, who does right?








as part of the crew he needed a job so we offered him "dog watch" which in nautical terms means the extra left over watch shift at the end of the day. he took it graciously, and as you can see, he's a natural. he just loves the cockpit float cushions any thime there is one available for him! he really is a spunky little dog in is awake time- barking at all the strangers that pass by the boat and playing attack our feet under the blankets.

Your pooch is cute. it is good to see that there are people out there rescuing pups rather than buying them from the puppy mills.

Ohhh, sweet doggy! I love that he is a pug shit. I can't wait to tell my friends during RS that my cousin just got a pug shit. :)

Glad you're enjoying the local city. It sure is fun living next to seattle, with the water front and so many activities near by. No cool jails , though!

The perfect dog for big Jim! and the name is very fitting, a fine addition to the crew!
