All
dogged up in their
'Toy' (Extra-small) size life jackets
Very, Verdi good progress!
Tosca is a regular at the Southfields Hydrotherapy Centre in Chiswick, London, where she has regular sessions with hydrotherapist Hannah Shooter. Tosca, a daschund who in the photos above is shown wearing her 'Toy' size 4u life jacket, had spinal surgery a year ago.
She's had to learn how to walk again and - thanks to the hydrotherapy under Hannah's watchful and experienced eye - is now doing brilliantly!
And thanks to her 4u life jacket she looks as pretty as a picture too!
This is your captain
speaking!
"I'm allowed to drive the boat
now I have my life jacket."
Sheba, a four-month old bichon frise, lives together with Rose and Ken Gilmore on their boat moored in Cuxton, Kent.
Never mind Baywatch
- My name is Gizzy. I live in Leyland,
Lancashire and am a miniature papillon crossed with a miniature
schnauzer. I can also go shopping now as I double as a doggie
handbag.
what about Dogwatch?
With grateful thanks to Simon and Lynne Nickalls and their nine year old daughter Megan - who loves little Gizzy dearly - for the narrative apparently written by 14 months old Gizzy (shown modelling his 'Toy' size 4u life jacket). That's pretty clever for a dog of any age, but just 14 months! Wow!
Jacques Russell!
Aprile Roland of Palavas-les-Flots in France bought a 'Toy' size 4u life jacket for her Jack Russell terrier Calypso.
In the photos above Aprile's daughter has fun with Calypso in the family's swimming pool.

Trivia Corner: Palavas-les-Flots is a seaside resort in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France, some 6 km south of Montpellier, at the Gulf of Lion and the Mediterranean Sea. It lies on a strip of sand dunes that separates two lakes, the Étang de l'Arnel and the Étang du Méjean, from the sea. |
Life's a beach for Pebbles
In preparation for spending lazy summer days cruising with her parents on their narrow boat, Hayley Hughes of Milton Keynes bought a 'Toy' size 4u life jacket for her cat Pebbles.
Although Pebbles looks perfectly comfortable in her jacket, it's Hayley's conclusion that Peebles chose to ignore the camera to mark her disgust at having to wear a life jacket at all.
Better safe than sorry, Pebbles!
Every girl needs a fashion swimsuit!
Milly is shown here modelling her 'Toy' size 4u life jacket. Owner Alma Oakley-Abrahams of Digswell in Hertfordshire reports that Milly, a four-month old Jack Russell terrier, still has some growing to do and that the 'Toy' size, which fits Milly now, will also accommodate that growth.
It's Summer - all year around!
Scarlett from Wokingham is the proud owner of Summer, a five-year old Japanese Chin, shown here modelling her 'Toy' size 4u life jacket just bought for her from the buy1or2.com stand at the Beale Park Boat Show.
Dotty for Dotty
Soraya Rigby, of Leyland in Lancashire, is dotty about Dotty, her 11 year old Jack Russell terrier ("with attitude", according to Soraya), photographed in her 'Toy' size 4u life jacket.
Together with Gemma, a cocker spaniel, and Beaux, a miniature daschund (and fellow crew members Steve, Graham, Paul and Bella), they all enjoyed a week's barging holiday on the 'Cheshire Ring'.
Soraya reports that, happily, none of her three dogs fell in (the badly-misbehaving Gemma was sent home in disgrace with Soraya's daughter after two days of being a "royal pain in the barge" before she had time to) but that anyway the jackets' lifting handles proved invaluable for stepping on and off the barge.

Midland miniature
At the Inland Waterways Association's 2008 National Festival and Boat Show in Wolverhampton Michael Nunn of Telford brought Billy, his 12 year old Yorkie, to the buy1or2.com stand where he was fitted with a 'Toy' size 4u life jacket.
