Skipper gets on the boat

I am often asked how Skipper gets on and off the boat.  He is quite the old salt by now.  As we finish our walks, we tell him “House!”.  He will take a running leap (of faith) and will either jump directly onto the back deck if the angle and height are correct in his expert doggy opinion, or will leap onto the walk-around, shimmy under the side ladder, and push in through the back canvas.
