Roxy's Sick and Apollo's Peeing On the Seat

Last week we took the boat out just for a quick jaunt on the reservoir. It's not the girls favorite because they can't tube and they can't swim in the water. It's great just for a quick trip to wakeboard, much to Jon's delight! It is about 5 minutes from the house and Jon has discovered that you only have to be 10 to be an observer on the boat. In California it is 12! So that means he can wakeboard when the family goes out. I drive and the girls can watch him and tell me when he's down. Well, anyway we thought we would go out for a quick trip and take the dogs. Much to our dismay, we discovered that Roxy gets terrible motion sickness. She was bubbling like a crab before she even got out of the car. We got the boat in the water and Roxy settled in at Jon's feet. The girls were feeding her ice to make her happy. Jo was first up to wakeboard. I was busy watching Jo happily cross the wakes when all of a sudden Jon slows the boat way down until he stops. I turned to hear Jon keep saying, UGHH with a horrible grimace on his face. He seemed to just be frozen. Looking down, Roxy had thrown up all of her lunch on his foot!!! The girls were thoroughly disgusted when she began to eat it again, all the while Jon is yelling to me to clean it up so that she won't throw it up again! :)

We got that situation handled and went to float on the boat and throw Apollo's toy while the girls jumped in and out of the boat. (against the rules) Roxy threw up 2 more times before feeling better. We rounded out the day before going home with Jon finally getting to wakeboard. I was driving Jon around the lake. I just love towing him around. (Not!!, ever since he got a concussion while I was pulling him) It makes me nervous. The girls are in charge of watching Jon. He fell once after a good run (all while Apollo is whining) and right after I got him up the second time, Jordan starts yelling "Apollo's peeing on the seat". The boat came to a screeching halt a second time, as I threw Apollo out of the back of the boat to Jon. Jon is completely clueless as to what is going on. Jon's turn was cut short as I drove the boat back to dock. That was enough for me, for one day. We got the boat out of the water and the dogs couldn't have been happier to be on land. Apollo peed for about 5 minutes straight. At home we thoroughly disinfected the boat and cleaned the carpets. So rest assured if you come visit us and we take the boat out, there are no remaining dog secretions!
