Not urban legend, apparently: last time we were at the Loxahatchee we
learned that an onboard dog had become gator food only a few days before.
And Sandy, I think, had "something" disturb her boat on the Estero not
long ago when she had one of her dogs aboard. Right, S? Cats have better
sense than to get on any boat I'm paddling, so I don't have to worry. e
