Pets afloat

from The Water Road · host Adam Porter

We have a new crew member: Macc the Border Terrier puppy -- so this episode is all about pets on board. We speak to a puppy trainer, Cal Thorpe, about how to get the best out of your dog. We also hear from Pip from Narrowboat Oleanna about how Tilley the boat cat is kept safe, thanks to health and safety rules. Plus Gemma and Jack tell us about how their Border, Goblin, gets on with their tortoise, Teacake -- and how Teacake went missing for ten days, and cost them a set of boat batteries.Follow Gemma and Jack on Instagram @our_floating_hausPip, Mick, and Tilley are at oleanna.co.ukCal Thorpe is at Off Leash Dog TrainingMacc is on Instagram @macc.the.boating.borderThe Water Road is produced and presented by Adam Porter.If you enjoy what I do, consider supporting me on Ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/thewaterroad
