Dear Lucky,
My owner is setting sail for the high seas and I’m going along for the ride. This will be my first time on a boat (a yacht!) but I’m afraid I might turn green as a Grinch! I don’t want to bark, er, barf. Do you have any tips for a canine that doesn’t have his sea paws yet?

Ahoy! Sounds like you’re in for quite an adventure. If you do start to feel queasy, here are some things you can do. First, make sure you eat a little something before you set sail. Try sitting still on the deck and facing forward. If that doesn’t work, just lie down and close your eyes. Oh, and don’t forget your life vest. Happy sailing!
