OMG!!! Boats is such a cute name! Your post made me LOL, your Boats sounds exactly like Toby. ALL he does is EAT. I can never eat in peace, because Toby is always by my side crying for food, even if he just ate a few minutes before.
When I got Toby I was so excited that I'd be able to take him swimming with me, go to the beach, etc... and just like you I was SO wrong, lol. He won't even go outside if it is sprinkling... he just really hates water.
He loves stuffed animals too, but they don't last very long, because he destroys them within a day, lol.
Thank you to everyone else for all of your sweet comments!!!
