Pirate… and (n0t) A Ships Dog

CORNWALL

Martha’s Friday prompt on “Pirates” brought back this memory from 16 years ago when Buster was just a pup.

Maybe it was his compact size that attracted this Cornish Pirate to try and recruit Buster as his ‘Ships Dog’.   As you can see Buster is listening intently to the offer. Now I don’t know exactly what was said, but from that day on Buster never liked even approaching a boat, let alone setting a paw on board.  True, even short ferry rides where a hardship to be endured under sufferance. As I say a smile and a memory as Buster is no longer with us. 

A true Pirate story for Martha’s prompt this week.  The link to her blog is here:- https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2023/08/18/friday-pirate/
