Lovely vlog, hope Dexter is OK, its terrible watching our pets age. They are our best friends for a time but we are their best friends for all their lives.
Thank you Anna. He got the all clear from his scan and we are now liquidising his food and he seems to be putting some weight back on. Have a lovely week ♥️
Thanks Anthony and Paul for this wonderful vlog. Hope Dexter is doing better, putting on weight. I feel for you all. It is not easy when our loved ones get sick. Take care all. Keep us posted please.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. We are made up Dexter seems to be gaining weight. It really is a worry as they get older. Have a fab weekend and take care ♥️
Dexter is a lovely cute pie a very sweet old chap you Guys are great Dads too him love watching my weekly catch up with you Guys make me happy chilled a great start to a better week at work keep the blogs going Guys love watching you injoying Guys living and working on the uk waterways and canals love N1 fan jenny from portsmouth ❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Hello. I love the trees hanging over the canal in places, so beautiful. Poor Dexter. I feel so sorry for them because they cannot fell us how the feel, Hope he keeps eating. Sending him cuddles. Thanks for another great video 😘😘👋👋
I love the seeing the trees hanging over. Can be a hazard at times with the camera 😂. That is the hardest bit not knowing what is wrong. We are liquidising his food and he seems to be coping with it and putting on a little bit of weight, which is incredible. Thanks for the well wishes. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
You guys, Pete and Caroline and, Julie and Martin all have such beautiful boats. I love woodworking and the woodwork in y'all's (Southern U.S. speak for you all...lol) boats is absolutely beautiful. All of your interior decorating styles are beautiful as well. I wanted to say the I hope for the very best with Dextor. He could not be in better hands than the two of you and I'm sure he realizes it.
Hey Roger. Thank you. We all love our boats. We get the y’all as we have relatives in Texas 😊. Thank you for the well wishes for Dexter. It pains us to see him age but he does do so well for an older dog. He seems to be putting on weight again, which is amazing. Have a wonderful weekend ♥️
Wonderful vlog again, fantastic scenery, i wish you could bottle that up! Getting more worried now with poor Dexter. Fingers crossed he gets better again soon. Old age can be like that. Keep us posted.❤🐕❤️
Thanks Eric. The scenery was amazing. Dexter is a worry, bless him. He got the all clear with his scan. He has also started to put on weight as we are liquidising his food. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️
Thank you. It was beautiful. Dexter is still doing ok. He is amazing. The fleeces were a present from a viewer. So kind. Have a lovely weekend and take care ♥️
What a very good boy Dexter is - you two really have given him such a wonderful life 🥰 Lovely stuff as always and very nice to see Tony and Jan pop up on this one. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, enjoying the sun and spending time with you beautiful old boy ❤️❤️❤️
I dont know if Dexter is your first dog or not, but if he’s not, you know how tough it is to see them get frail and elderly. Unfortunately our dogs have much shorter lives and watching them age is inevitable. Just remember to do what ‘s best for him and his quality of life.
That was a real mix of sun and rain. You guys are showing a tan already. Sweet Dexter… it’s difficult to see them grow old. Nice cruising with you again this week. Have a great weekend. See you soon. Cheers!
We had a real mixed bag of weather Heidi. Everyone at work thinks I have been abroad 😂. It does break my heart to watch Dexter age, but he still seems content. Thanks for coming along with us. Have a great weekend ♥️
Thinking of Dexter and yourselves. You've a lot of support from us all. Love the drone footage, lovely cruise and specially liked to see the mink. Thank you.
Thank you for taking us on that cruise, the canal looked nice and wide, spectacular scenery. Dexter is a worry, but he is excellent for his age and knows when to chill, keep loveing him every day as you do. Its always sad to see buildings and boats fall into disrepair, I often wonder why someone cant have them cheap to maintain. Wow nearly 4 years cruising, and Ive enjoyed every minute watching. Happy summer days to you three xxx
It was a beautiful day Susan. He really is a worry. He does do well for his age and he is loved. I think that would be a great idea to get them repaired but I think it is something to do with trying to find the owner as it is still their property. There must be something CRT can do. Time has flown. Can’t believe we have been on the cut 4 years. We wouldn’t change it for the world. Thanks for being there with us, it means a lot. Have a great weekend ♥️
Lovely to see you enjoying Lancashire again. I was born at Whittle le Woods, just by Chorley, many years ago. Now in the Inner Hebrides (!). Keep safe and well. Hope Dexter continues to plod along in his old age. Thanks for taking us on your travels 😊
Hey Catherine. Love Lancashire. Such a beautiful county. I bet the Hebrides are equally beautiful. Dexter is doing much better thank you. Have a lovely weekend and thanks for coming along with us. ♥️
Thank you Diana. He does seem to be putting on weight, which is amazing. Glad you enjoyed the scenery and Dexter’s speaking part 😂. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Back from the dead and here to catch up on my favorite escape from my 4 walls and bed. Another vlog with beautiful scenery, and two lovely mates with their old sidekick, Dexter. Afraid i have more in common with Dexer. May your summer be a beeautiful one. XOX. and cuddles to Dexter
Oh no. You not been well? Glad you enjoyed the vlog. We are hoping for a better summer than we have had so far. Have a lovely weekend. Hope you feel better soon. ❤️
Thank you for a beautiful video , it is always amazing how the scenery just seems to get better with every turn in the canal.sending love to you both and beautiful Dexter at this very worrying time xxx
Thank you Irene. We really were treated to some amazing scenery. Dexter is doing ok. The scan came back clear, which is good. We have been liquidising Dexter’s food and he is having four meals a day now and seems to be putting on weight, which is amazing. Have a great weekend and take care ♥️
Thank you Irene. Glad you enjoyed. Dexter got the all clear and since we started to liquidise his food, he is putting on weight. Have a good weekend ♥️
Loved the vlog. Great meeting you both today (and yesterday, Anthony). And, thanks for the reassurance that having seen a dramatic sinking, we shouldn't be put off narrowboat life. So pleased to hear that Dexter is doing better and I (Helen) got to wave at him this morning. Hugs to Dexter. x
Aww was lovely to see you both too. Hope you got to moor at the Curly Whurlys. We loved it there. Not sure how far we are continuing or whether to head back. Enjoy the rest of your holiday. ♥️
It was a good day despite the weather. Dexter is definitely putting on weight bless him. He does so well for his age. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️
Time has flown Stefani. Nature is incredible. To be surrounded by it every day is just amazing. Dexter is putting on weight which is great to see. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Great to see the countryside up there. We’re hoping to get over that way next year fingers crossed. Dexter looks like he’s finding life hard - we’re sending our love❤.
Aw, sweet Dexter! Good wishes for him! My old doggy had his first Librela shot, 3 weeks ago. I haven’t noticed an obvious change for the better, yet. He will get a second dose soon. Our poor dogs! Thank you for the lovely vlog - good to see all the camaraderie of boating!
Thank you. Hope your dog does benefit from the Librela. It really helps Dexter. Glad you enjoyed the vlog, we do love the boating community. Have a fab weekend ♥️ .
well this popped up and I had tears in my eyes seeing gorgeous Dexter. I have still not been able to bring myself to watch the tribute video to your dear friend. I have 3 dogs and 2 are elderly now.....I am almost feeling pre-emptive grief seeing them slow down. Sending love 🥰 I am in the final stages of a boat purchase and looking forward to being art of this wonderful community. xx
I haven’t been able to watch either Andrea. Don’t know how Paul managed to edit it. He was the most beautiful boy. cherish every moment with your dogs. Good luck with the boat purchase. Hopefully see you on the cut soon. Have a great weekend ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked Sending you both love. Dexter was a beautiful boy. Efia, Cosmo and Juno have all had extra cuddles . I will definitely say Hi if I see you out there :-) x
Lovely cruise guys really lovely. Dear Dexter. Maybe worth mentioning to vets - trachea - as it was the coughing that bought dottys fit on. It does seem to be an unofficial side effect of Librela. Every best wish. Sending hugs ❤
Hey Trevor. Glad you enjoyed the cruise. Some stunning scenery. Never heard of librella causing that but it is interesting. Thank you for his well wishes. Have a great weekend ♥️
Hey Jan. It really is stunning. Every turn there is breathtaking views. They didn’t find anything wrong with Dexter, thankfully. Thank you for watching. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Such a beautiful area. Loved doing it with you. I am in love with Dexter. I am dealing with weight issues for my beloved 26 year old cat, so I feel your angst. All 3 of you be well. Leigh
It was beautiful Leigh. We had such a fab cruise. Dexter really is a beautiful soul. It is worrying as our pets get older. Hope your cat is ok. Have a lovely weekend and take care ♥️
Green, green, green💚💚💚 all that spring rain has made the countryside so beautiful. Such a lovely cruise. Isn’t it so nice to travel with friends. Hope ya’ll have an amazing week. Cuddles for Dexter💕.
Thank you Jill. We have started to liquidise his food and he is having 4 meals a day. He seems to be putting on weight bless him. Have a good weekend ♥️
Great cruise. Loved the scenery, what a beautiful place for your last mooring. The duck on the roof was hysterical. Hope all is well with both of you of you. You are great dog parents. Dexter is lucky to have you both, and you him. Sending lots of ❤️🤗 😊🤗❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾 Kathy
Thanks Kathy. Lancashire is beautiful. Never seen a duck from that angle. 😂. Dexter seems to be putting weight on since we started to liquidise his food, we are made up. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Another great vlog guys. I enjoyed that cruise and the beautiful scenery. Really hope Dexter is feeling better. It's such as worry as our animals age. Take care guys and enjoy the cruising.
Hi, Guys , I discovered your vlogs a few months ago and I love them x this vlog was wonderful, stunning scenery . there seems to be a lovely sense of community in canal life x I used to live in the North so a lot of the places you go to I have either lived there or visited , I live in Greece now and out here there is also a lovely sense of community .Dexter is an absolute darling xx it is awful when our pets get old x I am sending lots of love cuddles and get well thoughts to him . Sending hugs to you both you must be so worried x Take care x
Hey Susan. Welcome to the channel. Glad you are enjoying them. We really have been treated to some incredible views. The community is second to none. Northern U.K. is just beautiful. It is nice to hear that the sense of community exists elsewhere. Dexter is such a lovely soul. It is heartbreaking watching him age. Thank you for his well wishes. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Thank you guys that was really enjoyable. How lovely that you can join up with fellow boaters to travel with and socialise. All my best to you all especially Dexter.❤Stephen.
Hey Stephen. We have made a real network of friends on the cut, which is testament to the boating community. Dexter seems to be putting on weight, which is amazing. Have a great weekend ♥️
I was impressed with Anthony reversing back to bridge. I know that you have bow and stern thrusters but still, nicely done. The Leeds Liverpool looks beautiful, not what I had imagined it to be. Wintering on the Llangollen sounds like a great idea. Nearly four years of canal living, how time flies. Thanks for vlogging your travels. Love David and Jen.
Thanks David. We seem to be reversing the cut more and more 😂. L and L really is stunning. So under rated. Time does fly, can’t believe we have been aboard nearly four years. Looking forward to Llangollen again. Have a great weekend. Love to you and Jen. ♥️
Lovely vlog…..some of the views were surprising…..the boat needs a good wash! I pray for Dexter…how do you manage to keep moving the damned van! That would drive me mad ! Pun intended. Have a great week.
Thanks Morten. I have never seen a duck from that angle. It hasn’t really been the weather to wash the boat. I get used to retrieving the van and it keeps me fit. Hope you are keeping ok. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Good to see you guys! Great photography with some beautiful views! Loved the duck on the sun roof! 😂 SO glad sweet Dexter is "holding steady". Hope you're both doing well. Wishing you a fab weekend! ❤️🐾❤️
Thanks Kathy. Never seen a duck from that angle before 😂 Dexter is amazing. He just plods on. We are grand thank you. Hope you are too. Have a lovely week ♥️
It was a stunning section. So beautiful. I guess without the rain, we wouldn’t have the beautiful green countryside. Hope you have a lovely week Janice ❤️
Thank you Scott. He got the all clear from the vets. He is also starting to put a bit of weight on, which is amazing. Thank you for your well wishes. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Thank you Randall. Glad you enjoy the vlogs. They really do have too short a life but we never thought we would have Dexter this long and cherish every moment with him. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Hi guys and Dexter. As you know we understand the heart sick feeling of our fur babies declining health. They become such an integral part of our lives as true and trusted family members. As masters we do all we can no matter the cost to provide them with all the care possible and you guys have done that. Dexter is lucky to have two great Dads as you are! We hurt for you as it is so fresh in our minds! Johann and Greta are angels watching from above. Sending love to you three. John, Dean, 🐾 🐾
Hey guys. It is heartbreaking isn’t it. He had the all clear with his scan, which was a relief. We have resorted to liquidising his food and he is eating 4 meals a day now. He looks like he is putting a bit of weight on too. It must be raw for you guys. Hope you are both ok. Hugs from us all. ♥️
Lovely cruise. Found your vids a few months ago and love following along. It’s a lovely escape during a dreary winter here in the south of Australia. I hope Dexter is doing ok, what a lovely boy he is. Take care
Hey. Welcome to the channel. Glad you are enjoying the vlogs. Dexter is plodding along bless him. He is the sweetest soul. Have a lovely week and take care ♥️
Great video. Such a beautiful area. You’re both looking very well and healthy. I wish Dexter was younger - it’s heartbreaking watching our pets dealing with old age. He’s such a gorgeous gentleman ❤
Thanks Mishka. Glad you enjoyed. We really wished he was younger too. He is incredible for his age. Watching them age is heartbreaking. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked thank you, yes very chilled. Hope all goes well. Fantastic channel. Between you guys and Pete and Caroline there’s such great content 👌🏻😎
Church/Accrington, my neck of the woods, it is very beautiful. We love walking our dog down by the canal. A few years back, they lit the lime kilns up. They looked amazing!
It was stunning. Dexter got the all clear from his scan. We have resorted to liquidising his food and he is loving it and seems to be putting on weight. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️
Thank you again for a marvelous video. Sweet old Dexter, getting old is not for the weak. Hope he's ok. I just lost 2 of my beloved cats to old age. Really hard! Paul, you definitely have a talent for producing excellent videos of your adventures. Love them, keep it up. Greetings from hot 🔥 Tucson Arizona. We're finally getting some of that lovely rain. 🌨️🌈⛈️
Glad you enjoyed. I hate seeing him age bless him. Sorry for your loss. Glad you are getting some rain. It does make everything feel fresh. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
We've been waiting for this episode boys. Rach and I came across both boats when we were fishing a few weeks ago. You were moored with you friends and he was sampling new colours for their boat at Cherry Tree. When I scanned the QR code the penny dropped. Love following your adventures and been watching from when you first had that boat. Keep em' coming. Rachel and Dave👏🥂🏁
Aww thanks guys. Good to hear from you. Loved Cherry Tree. Saul has finally picked a colour. It looks good. Thanks for watching and have a lovely weekend ♥️
Hey Sue. It was stunning. We love Lancashire. The fleeces were presents from a viewer. Really kind. Dexter is doing a bit better thank you. Have a great weekend ♥️
Hi Guys and Dexter, long time since I commented, The Leeds & Liverpool canal has fantastic views and places to moor, was my fav canal when we were on our narrowboat years ago. Hope Dexter will be ok. Glad to see you are still on your health kick Anthony, my husband and myself have been on a diet for just over a year and between us we have lost 12 and a half stone, have more energy and can get about a lot easier now, we have slowed down a little now, but have no intentions of putting any of it back on, our little car really likes have a lighter load. ha ha. Till the next vlog, take care. x
Hey Debbie. Good to hear from you. The L and L is so under rated but is one of the most beautiful. Dexter is still plodding along bless him. I am doing ok on my health kick. Few lapses every now and again, but it isn’t sustainable to be good all the time. Well done to both of you: that is a lot of weight loss. It does make you feel loads better. Have a lovely week and take care ❤️
Another interesting vlog with wonderful scenery. Hoping Dexter Dog manages to start putting on some weight, such a worry when you don't know why your furry friend is under the weather. Hopefully you will get some good news soon. Thank you. Cheers.
Thanks James. It really is a stunning canal. Dexter seems to be gaining a bit of weight as we are now liquidising his food. It is really worrying and gate to see him age. Fingers crossed for better weather. We could do with some decent solar. Have a lovely weekend ❤️
Thanks guys for taking us along on this beautiful early summer cruise (where's summer gone?), I hope that Dexter is getting better and putting some more weight on, bless him. Have a great week. Take care and all the best. Stevie ❤
Thanks Stevie. Weather has definitely taken a turn since then. Think that was our three days of summer. 😂 Dexter looks like he is putting on weight since we started liquidising his food bless him. Have a fab week and take care ❤️
We just started our 12 1/2 year old girl on Librela and cannot believe the difference. We know it isn’t a cure but it is buying her some quality time. In 2016 we flew our two dogs with us from Canada to the UK and had four months on a canal boat and did the Leeds to Liverpool as part of our tour. You are right, that whole northern area it so underrated. Would go back and do it all again!! So many wonderful memories. Rather than come back via the Leeds/Liverpool route to Llangollen, why would you try the option of the Rochedale or the Huddersfields? The Standedge Tunnel was a great experience. We couldn’t do the Rochedale that year because of all the floods the previous winter which took out locks and bridges. We tried the Rochedale again in 2022 from the Manchester end but ran out of water. Hoping to try again from Sowerby Bridge end next year - maybe third time lucky 🤞
Hey guys. It is amazing medication and definitely improves their quality of life. Glad you got to experience the L and L. It is beautiful. We have done the Standedge tunnel on our old boat via Manchester and Huddersfield narrow and broads. We can’t do it on this boat as it is too big. Never fancied the Rochdale canal. Heard a lot of horror stories about it. Fingers crossed you get to do it. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Evening guys, Luckily, you had good weather on the trip, compared to now! I could have told you about the Canada geese - they are noisy sods, and fields full of them there. Yes, and that hill does us in every time from the canal to Whins lane. When we walk round there we tend to go down it! Hope Dexter is as well as can be, bless him. Enjoy the weekend.x
Hey Bill. Hope you have finally recovered. It was a stunning spot despite the geese. The hill is a killer. Dexter is doing better thank you. Hope you guys are ok. Have a great weekend ♥️
Hello Paul, Anthony and Dexter Dog, It’s good to see Paul carrying shopping (weight) and hear him talking about driving to his magic show, which must mean he is a lot lot better now, which is so nice to hear. Anthony, a nice bit of reversing, keeping everything positioned correctly with your thrusters. Very impressive. I was surprised you were having to varnish your skylight surrounds after only one year open to the elements. That shows how strong nature is, The Sun, The Wind, and the Rain all take their toll. Lovely to see Dexter, really sorry to hear of his issues. I laughed at seeing the Duck on your skylight. How kool is that? I really like ducks. What beautiful countryside you are travelling thru. Even when it was pouring, it still had a lovely feel about it. Those locks around Blackburn were grand almost Majestic like. You passed a building that had a big “G” that looked like a Granada TV “G”, but I’m guessing the building had nothing to do with the TV studio? Anthony your arm looked sore. I felt your pain. A lovely and interesting Vlog as always. Loving the banter (Anthony is steering the boat) Paul says to Anthony “What are you doing Anthony” Anthony replies “I’m steering the boat” That is pure Paul & Anthony banter, Thank you very much. All the very best. Spoolbox.
Hey Spoolbox, It is good that Paul is on the mend. He found out he will need additional laser surgery on his other eye 🙄. I do like the challenge of reversing 😂, much easier with bow thrusters though I don’t think the skylights had been treated properly from the beginning, but the new varnish is highly recommended so fingers crossed. My arm still feels sore, almost like I have chipped the bone. Never seen a duck from that angle before 😂. Blackburn locks do look great but wouldn’t want to be stuck there 😬. I do think that the building has Granada head quarters. Brought back some memories. Glad you enjoyed and glad your comment got through. Have a lovely week and take care ♥️
widebeams have kitchens narrowboats have galleys because they are smaller perhaps. On narrow boats they rarely call the master bedroom a stateroom and the lavatory a head. If the master bed is a pull out there is nothing stately about it .
Thanks for another gorgeous trip guys. That looks like a very beautiful part of the world. It doesn't look that busy for midsummer. Do narrowboats go South for the summer! I hope Dexter's health improves.
Cheers Neil. It was a beautiful cruise. Really pretty round here. I think as you get nearer to Skipton, there are more hire boats, probably due to all the locks before you get to where we are. Thanks for the well wishes for Dexter. He looks like he is putting on weight bless him. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
When in the UK🇨🇦, I was so surprised when people who recognized each other, stood having a chat along the road while the rain pored all over them (no umbrella in sight). There was my cousin and myself under our umbrellas😊. We have had an unusual amount of rain here lately. 90% change of rain tomorrow but after that, it is going up to 27c+ sun, sun, sun! Thank you for letting us enjoy a little bit of England…one of my friends has a Golden Retriever, she has to feed her sitting up with a spoon to stop her from being sick. I think she is 9ish.
We are hardy folk Shirley. 😂. Would love a bit of sun here. We have started to liquidise Dexter’s food and it has made a massive difference bless him. Have a great weekend ♥️
Aww we never notice our fur babies getting older..until we realise one day they do, just like us 😕
I know. It definitely catches you off guard. Breaks my heart. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Keep positive...enjoy your weekend too 😊
Lovely vlog, hope Dexter is OK, its terrible watching our pets age. They are our best friends for a time but we are their best friends for all their lives.
Thank you Sue. Glad you enjoyed. It is heartbreaking watching him age. It is sad they don’t live as long as us. Hope you have a great weekend ♥️
Hi there enjoyed vlog , hope Dexter will be ok .Hugs xx

Thank you for a lovely cruise...great birdcalls in the background. Big hugs to Dexter!
Glad you enjoyed. The birds were really vocal. Bless Dexter. He does so well. Have a good weekend ♥️
What a very good boy Dexter is - you two really have given him such a wonderful life 🥰 Lovely stuff as always and very nice to see Tony and Jan pop up on this one. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, enjoying the sun and spending time with you beautiful old boy ❤️❤️❤️
He really is Lesley. We love him to bits. We have had a fab weekend. Hope you have too. ♥️

He isn’t our first dog Susan. He is our first together. It is heart breaking watching them age. We would never let him suffer. Have a good weekend ♥️
Another great vlog, the scenery looks absolutely stunning!! ❤ xx
It is lovely here Karen. Wish you had come with us too. Hope you guys are good. ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked ahhh we do miss you guys soooo much!!!! ❤️
Ditto ♥️
That was a real mix of sun and rain. You guys are showing a tan already. Sweet Dexter… it’s difficult to see them grow old. Nice cruising with you again this week. Have a great weekend. See you soon. Cheers!
We had a real mixed bag of weather Heidi. Everyone at work thinks I have been abroad 😂. It does break my heart to watch Dexter age, but he still seems content. Thanks for coming along with us. Have a great weekend ♥️
Thinking of Dexter and yourselves. You've a lot of support from us all.
Love the drone footage, lovely cruise and specially liked to see the mink. Thank you.
Thank you John. It means a lot that Dexter has so much love. The cruise was amazing. Can’t believe I spotted that mink. Have a good weekend ♥️

Cheers Lee. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
So lovely to see all the beauty!

It was a beautiful day Susan. He really is a worry. He does do well for his age and he is loved.
I think that would be a great idea to get them repaired but I think it is something to do with trying to find the owner as it is still their property. There must be something CRT can do.
Time has flown. Can’t believe we have been on the cut 4 years. We wouldn’t change it for the world. Thanks for being there with us, it means a lot. Have a great weekend ♥️
hey guys, hope Dexter is feeling better. I love seeing his sugar powdered face 😊
Aww thanks Eloise. He is gaining weight, which is amazing. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Wow the skylights look amazing in the darker colour . Good choice. Great vlog as always. Just love Dexter plodding along at his own towpath pace
Thank you Liz. They do look loads better. Dexter is really slowing now, bless him. Have a lovely weekend ❤️
Lovely to see you enjoying Lancashire again. I was born at Whittle le Woods, just by Chorley, many years ago. Now in the Inner Hebrides (!). Keep safe and well. Hope Dexter continues to plod along in his old age. Thanks for taking us on your travels 😊
Hey Catherine. Love Lancashire.
Such a beautiful county. I bet the Hebrides are equally beautiful.
Dexter is doing much better thank you. Have a lovely weekend and thanks for coming along with us. ♥️
Sweet Dexter -- I hope he continues to eat and gets better! What a lovely sail -- and I loved hearing Dexter's commentary!
Thank you Diana. He does seem to be putting on weight, which is amazing. Glad you enjoyed the scenery and Dexter’s speaking part 😂. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Thank you, give Dexter a hug from me 😊
Will do Jules. Have a lovely week ❤️

Oh no. You not been well? Glad you enjoyed the vlog. We are hoping for a better summer than we have had so far. Have a lovely weekend. Hope you feel better soon. ❤️
Sending hugs, always an anxious time when our beloved pets are not well!!

Thank you for a beautiful video , it is always amazing how the scenery just seems to get better with every turn in the canal.sending love to you both and beautiful Dexter at this very worrying time xxx
Thank you Irene. We really were treated to some amazing scenery. Dexter is doing ok. The scan came back clear, which is good. We have been liquidising Dexter’s food and he is having four meals a day now and seems to be putting on weight, which is amazing. Have a great weekend and take care ♥️
Lovely journey thankyou for taking us. Hope you get good news about dexter x
Thank you Irene. Glad you enjoyed. Dexter got the all clear and since we started to liquidise his food, he is putting on weight. Have a good weekend ♥️
Loved the vlog. Great meeting you both today (and yesterday, Anthony). And, thanks for the reassurance that having seen a dramatic sinking, we shouldn't be put off narrowboat life. So pleased to hear that Dexter is doing better and I (Helen) got to wave at him this morning. Hugs to Dexter. x
Aww was lovely to see you both too. Hope you got to moor at the Curly Whurlys. We loved it there. Not sure how far we are continuing or whether to head back. Enjoy the rest of your holiday. ♥️
You lot bring a lot of pleasure along with your videos!
Thank you James. That’s really kind. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Lovely cruise - the weather! so changeable then! I do hope that Dexter is ok. Hugs to you all 🙂
It was a good day despite the weather. Dexter is definitely putting on weight bless him. He does so well for his age. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️
Sorry to hear Dexter is under the weather . It was a lovely vlog . Stay safe and happy cruising
Thank you Dave. He does seem a lot better and is putting on a bit of weight. Glad you enjoyed the cruise. Have a good weekend ♥️
What a lovely cruise 😊
Thank you Jenny. Glad you enjoyed. Have a great weekend ♥️
Wow, 4 years! It always amazes me how many different shades of green there are in nature. Lovely vlog as always. Sending love and pats to dear Dexter.
Time has flown Stefani. Nature is incredible. To be surrounded by it every day is just amazing. Dexter is putting on weight which is great to see. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Great to see the countryside up there. We’re hoping to get over that way next year fingers crossed. Dexter looks like he’s finding life hard - we’re sending our love❤.
It’s beautiful guys. You won’t be disappointed. Fingers crossed for you. Dexter is plodding bless him. Hugs back to you both ❤️
Dexter is such a treasure , ❤ just found your channel. Sweet viewing 🌻🌼🌻
Welcome to the channel. He was just the most amazing and gentle soul. Have a lovely weekend ❤️
Aw, sweet Dexter! Good wishes for him! My old doggy had his first Librela shot, 3 weeks ago. I haven’t noticed an obvious change for the better, yet. He will get a second dose soon. Our poor dogs! Thank you for the lovely vlog - good to see all the camaraderie of boating!
Thank you. Hope your dog does benefit from the Librela. It really helps Dexter. Glad you enjoyed the vlog, we do love the boating community. Have a fab weekend ♥️ .
Poor Dexter, I hope he will be ok. Cheers guys. 👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍
Thanks Ange. It really is a worry. He is doing ok bless him. Have a good weekend ♥️
well this popped up and I had tears in my eyes seeing gorgeous Dexter. I have still not been able to bring myself to watch the tribute video to your dear friend. I have 3 dogs and 2 are elderly now.....I am almost feeling pre-emptive grief seeing them slow down. Sending love 🥰
I am in the final stages of a boat purchase and looking forward to being art of this wonderful community. xx
I haven’t been able to watch either Andrea. Don’t know how Paul managed to edit it. He was the most beautiful boy. cherish every moment with your dogs.
Good luck with the boat purchase. Hopefully see you on the cut soon. Have a great weekend ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked Sending you both love. Dexter was a beautiful boy. Efia, Cosmo and Juno have all had extra cuddles . I will definitely say Hi if I see you out there :-) x
♥️
Vlogs never fail to entertain us all
Take care all love to dexter 🧡🐕
Thanks Helen. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Lovely cruise guys really lovely. Dear Dexter. Maybe worth mentioning to vets - trachea - as it was the coughing that bought dottys fit on. It does seem to be an unofficial side effect of Librela. Every best wish. Sending hugs ❤
Hey Trevor.
Glad you enjoyed the cruise. Some stunning scenery. Never heard of librella causing that but it is interesting. Thank you for his well wishes. Have a great weekend ♥️
Really beautiful views near the end, love the old stone walls, too. Hoping nothing serious found with Dexter. Love your vlogs! ❤
Hey Jan. It really is stunning. Every turn there is breathtaking views. They didn’t find anything wrong with Dexter, thankfully. Thank you for watching. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Praying 🙏 for dexter ❤. Take care all xxx
Thank you so much Catherine. Have a good weekend ♥️
Such a beautiful area. Loved doing it with you. I am in love with Dexter. I am dealing with weight issues for my beloved 26 year old cat, so I feel your angst. All 3 of you be well. Leigh
It was beautiful Leigh. We had such a fab cruise. Dexter really is a beautiful soul. It is worrying as our pets get older. Hope your cat is ok. Have a lovely weekend and take care ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked just a wee correction: my cat is 16.... not 26. Same as Dexter.
I thought that was incredible. 16 is good going thought x
Green, green, green💚💚💚 all that spring rain has made the countryside so beautiful. Such a lovely cruise. Isn’t it so nice to travel with friends. Hope ya’ll have an amazing week. Cuddles for Dexter💕.
The rain has made everything so lush. It is beautiful. It is always lovely travelling with friends. Hope you are keeping well. Have a great weekend ♥️
I enjoy your travels so much! Hugs to Dexter. ❤
Aaww Dexter, bless him he’s such a lovely old boy. I hope he’s continuing to eat and improve.
Thank you Jill. We have started to liquidise his food and he is having 4 meals a day. He seems to be putting on weight bless him. Have a good weekend ♥️
I just love this video….1st I’ve seen on your channel….Dexter💔I love old dogs….they’re so endearing….love the rain and the awesome accent
Glad you are enjoying. Thank you for the condolences. Dexter was a well loved and happy dog and we do miss him. Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤️
Great cruise. Loved the scenery, what a beautiful place for your last mooring. The duck on the roof was hysterical. Hope all is well with both of you of you. You are great dog parents. Dexter is lucky to have you both, and you him. Sending lots of ❤️🤗
😊🤗❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾 Kathy
Thanks Kathy. Lancashire is beautiful. Never seen a duck from that angle. 😂. Dexter seems to be putting weight on since we started to liquidise his food, we are made up. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked hope you three also have a good weekend.
Another great vlog guys. I enjoyed that cruise and the beautiful scenery. Really hope Dexter is feeling better. It's such as worry as our animals age. Take care guys and enjoy the cruising.
Thanks Louise. It is a great section of canal. Dexter is doing ok. Heartbreaking to watch him age. 😢 Have a lovely week ❤️
Love your dog!
Thank you Jason. He is such a gentle soul. He totally melts my heart everyday. Have a good weekend ♥️
Hi, Guys , I discovered your vlogs a few months ago and I love them x this vlog was wonderful, stunning scenery . there seems to be a lovely sense of community in canal life x I used to live in the North so a lot of the places you go to I have either lived there or visited , I live in Greece now and out here there is also a lovely sense of community .Dexter is an absolute darling xx it is awful when our pets get old x I am sending lots of love cuddles and get well thoughts to him . Sending hugs to you both you must be so worried x Take care x
Hey Susan. Welcome to the channel. Glad you are enjoying them. We really have been treated to some incredible views. The community is second to none. Northern U.K. is just beautiful. It is nice to hear that the sense of community exists elsewhere. Dexter is such a lovely soul.
It is heartbreaking watching him age. Thank you for his well wishes. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Thank you guys that was really enjoyable. How lovely that you can join up with fellow boaters to travel with and socialise. All my best to you all especially Dexter.❤Stephen.
Hey Stephen. We have made a real network of friends on the cut, which is testament to the boating community. Dexter seems to be putting on weight, which is amazing. Have a great weekend ♥️
Hope Dexter is ok...Another great vlog guys...Hope you have a lovely weekend 🙂
Thank you. He is doing much better. Have a lovely weekend too. ♥️
Stunning scenery,,,,,,,,,, My image of Lancashire....has been all dark satanic mills....The beauty is incredible! As always thank you!
😂. I can see why Ian but Lancashire is so beautiful. Hope you are keeping well. Have a lovely week ❤️
I was impressed with Anthony reversing back to bridge. I know that you have bow and stern thrusters but still, nicely done. The Leeds Liverpool looks beautiful, not what I had imagined it to be. Wintering on the Llangollen sounds like a great idea. Nearly four years of canal living, how time flies. Thanks for vlogging your travels. Love David and Jen.
Thanks David. We seem to be reversing the cut more and more 😂. L and L really is stunning. So under rated. Time does fly, can’t believe we have been aboard nearly four years.
Looking forward to Llangollen again. Have a great weekend. Love to you and Jen. ♥️
Fantastic Video Guys.
Thanks guys. Hope you have a good weekend ♥️
Lovely vlog…..some of the views were surprising…..the boat needs a good wash! I pray for Dexter…how do you manage to keep moving the damned van! That would drive me mad ! Pun intended. Have a great week.
Thanks Morten. I have never seen a duck from that angle. It hasn’t really been the weather to wash the boat. I get used to retrieving the van and it keeps me fit.
Hope you are keeping ok. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Narrow boating appears to be a very sociable and an enjoyable way of living keep the vlogs coming Ray.
It really is Ray. Best part about this life is the community. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Hitting that bow thruster button! Where would we be without them?
Great vlog chaps, keep going!
They definitely come in handy. Glad you enjoyed the vlog. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Good to see you guys! Great photography with some beautiful views! Loved the duck on the sun roof! 😂 SO glad sweet Dexter is "holding steady". Hope you're both doing well. Wishing you a fab weekend! ❤️🐾❤️
Thanks Kathy. Never seen a duck from that angle before 😂 Dexter is amazing. He just plods on. We are grand thank you. Hope you are too. Have a lovely week ♥️
What really beautiful scenery you are in right now, shame about the rain but I guess that is England for you.❤🌻❤x x x
It was a stunning section. So beautiful. I guess without the rain, we wouldn’t have the beautiful green countryside.
Hope you have a lovely week Janice ❤️
Sorry about bad news love you two❤ xxx
Thank you Tia. We are heartbroken 💔
A fab vlog as always. We are also always thinking of you both with cherished Dexter, hope he is doing ok bless him ❤❤❤
Thank you Jacqueline. He really is our world. Hope you guys have settled in. Have a great week ❤️
Thank you Jacqueline. He really is our world. Hope you guys have settled in. Have a great week ❤️
I see both of your concerns for sweet Dexter. My thoughts and prayers are with you all
Scott W
SC, USA
Thank you Scott. He got the all clear from the vets. He is also starting to put a bit of weight on, which is amazing. Thank you for your well wishes.
Have a lovely weekend ♥️
@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked wonderful news...so thankful 🙏!
Great videos guys, I can see the effort you put in each one. Our furry friends have too short a life.
Thank you Randall. Glad you enjoy the vlogs. They really do have too short a life but we never thought we would have Dexter this long and cherish every moment with him. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Hi guys and Dexter. As you know we understand the heart sick feeling of our fur babies declining health. They become such an integral part of our lives as true and trusted family members. As masters we do all we can no matter the cost to provide them with all the care possible and you guys have done that. Dexter is lucky to have two great Dads as you are! We hurt for you as it is so fresh in our minds! Johann and Greta are angels watching from above. Sending love to you three. John, Dean, 🐾 🐾
Hey guys.
It is heartbreaking isn’t it. He had the all clear with his scan, which was a relief. We have resorted to liquidising his food and he is eating 4 meals a day now. He looks like he is putting a bit of weight on too. It must be raw for you guys.
Hope you are both ok. Hugs from us all. ♥️
Lovely cruise. Found your vids a few months ago and love following along. It’s a lovely escape during a dreary winter here in the south of Australia. I hope Dexter is doing ok, what a lovely boy he is. Take care
Hey. Welcome to the channel. Glad you are enjoying the vlogs. Dexter is plodding along bless him. He is the sweetest soul. Have a lovely week and take care ♥️
Great video. Such a beautiful area. You’re both looking very well and healthy. I wish Dexter was younger - it’s heartbreaking watching our pets dealing with old age. He’s such a gorgeous gentleman ❤
Thanks Mishka. Glad you enjoyed. We really wished he was younger too. He is incredible for his age. Watching them age is heartbreaking. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️
Poor Dexter 😢 he is a lovely old boy
Glad you’re on the mend Paul and back driving and able to get about with ease.
Best wishes and stay safe 😊
We love him so much Dave.
Paul will eventually need laser on his other eye apparently.
Hope you are having a nice weekend. Take care ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked thank you, yes very chilled. Hope all goes well. Fantastic channel. Between you guys and Pete and Caroline there’s such great content 👌🏻😎
Thank you ☺️
Church/Accrington, my neck of the woods, it is very beautiful. We love walking our dog down by the canal.
A few years back, they lit the lime kilns up. They looked amazing!
It really is Lindsey. We loved it around there. What a shame they didn’t keep the lights. They are amazing structures. Have a good week ♥️
Beautiful cruise. I hope Dexter is just feeling the heat, but sending prayers for him! 🙂
It was stunning. Dexter got the all clear from his scan. We have resorted to liquidising his food and he is loving it and seems to be putting on weight. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked Aww, such good news! Thanks for letting us know! 💖💖💖
Great video a lovely Canal ,hope Dexter is feeling better and hope your arm is ok 😊have a nice weekend.
Hey Christopher. The cruise was beautiful. Dexter looks loads better thank you. Have a great weekend too ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked so pleased he is feeling better 😊
Thank you again for a marvelous video. Sweet old Dexter, getting old is not for the weak. Hope he's ok. I just lost 2 of my beloved cats to old age. Really hard! Paul, you definitely have a talent for producing excellent videos of your adventures. Love them, keep it up. Greetings from hot 🔥 Tucson Arizona. We're finally getting some of that lovely rain. 🌨️🌈⛈️
Glad you enjoyed. I hate seeing him age bless him. Sorry for your loss. Glad you are getting some rain. It does make everything feel fresh. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
We've been waiting for this episode boys. Rach and I came across both boats when we were fishing a few weeks ago. You were moored with you friends and he was sampling new colours for their boat at Cherry Tree. When I scanned the QR code the penny dropped. Love following your adventures and been watching from when you first had that boat. Keep em' coming. Rachel and Dave👏🥂🏁
Aww thanks guys. Good to hear from you. Loved Cherry Tree. Saul has finally picked a colour. It looks good. Thanks for watching and have a lovely weekend ♥️
Lovely cruise, Lancashire is beautiful. I really like your fleeces!
Hope Dexter is doing OK. Xx
Hey Sue. It was stunning. We love Lancashire. The fleeces were presents from a viewer. Really kind.
Dexter is doing a bit better thank you. Have a great weekend ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked ❤
Hope Dexter’s results are good ones . It’s such a worry , I feel your pain .
Thank you Wyn. He got the all clear and he seems to be putting weight on, which is great. Hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️
Hi Guys and Dexter, long time since I commented, The Leeds & Liverpool canal has fantastic views and places to moor, was my fav canal when we were on our narrowboat years ago. Hope Dexter will be ok. Glad to see you are still on your health kick Anthony, my husband and myself have been on a diet for just over a year and between us we have lost 12 and a half stone, have more energy and can get about a lot easier now, we have slowed down a little now, but have no intentions of putting any of it back on, our little car really likes have a lighter load. ha ha. Till the next vlog, take care. x
Hey Debbie. Good to hear from you. The L and L is so under rated but is one of the most beautiful. Dexter is still plodding along bless him. I am doing ok on my health kick. Few lapses every now and again, but it isn’t sustainable to be good all the time. Well done to both of you: that is a lot of weight loss.
It does make you feel loads better.
Have a lovely week and take care ❤️
Another interesting vlog with wonderful scenery. Hoping Dexter Dog manages to start putting on some weight, such a worry when you don't know why your furry friend is under the weather. Hopefully you will get some good news soon. Thank you. Cheers.
Thanks James. It really is a stunning canal. Dexter seems to be gaining a bit of weight as we are now liquidising his food. It is really worrying and gate to see him age. Fingers crossed for better weather. We could do with some decent solar. Have a lovely weekend ❤️
Thanks guys for taking us along on this beautiful early summer cruise (where's summer gone?), I hope that Dexter is getting better and putting some more weight on, bless him. Have a great week. Take care and all the best. Stevie ❤
Thanks Stevie. Weather has definitely taken a turn since then. Think that was our three days of summer. 😂 Dexter looks like he is putting on weight since we started liquidising his food bless him. Have a fab week and take care ❤️
Well there’s a first for me,seeing a duck from that angle lol 😂😂😂
😂 and for us Shane. Hope you have a good weekend ♥️
Awe ,I would love you to come rodley,I live near there . Hope Dexter goes ok at his scan x
Thanks Linda. We have been to Rodley on our last boat. Great curry house there 😊. Dexter had the all clear from his scan. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Such a cool couple. That was a very pleasant video to watch. I want a duck on my roof haha.
Thanks Alice. Glad you enjoyed. That duck was fab. Have a good weekend ♥️
Shout out to Dexter . . . and his staff.
😂. Thank you. Think Dexter would agree if he could talk. Have a lovely week ♥️
We just started our 12 1/2 year old girl on Librela and cannot believe the difference. We know it isn’t a cure but it is buying her some quality time. In 2016 we flew our two dogs with us from Canada to the UK and had four months on a canal boat and did the Leeds to Liverpool as part of our tour. You are right, that whole northern area it so underrated. Would go back and do it all again!! So many wonderful memories. Rather than come back via the Leeds/Liverpool route to Llangollen, why would you try the option of the Rochedale or the Huddersfields? The Standedge Tunnel was a great experience. We couldn’t do the Rochedale that year because of all the floods the previous winter which took out locks and bridges. We tried the Rochedale again in 2022 from the Manchester end but ran out of water. Hoping to try again from Sowerby Bridge end next year - maybe third time lucky 🤞
Hey guys. It is amazing medication and definitely improves their quality of life.
Glad you got to experience the L and L. It is beautiful. We have done the Standedge tunnel on our old boat via Manchester and Huddersfield narrow and broads.
We can’t do it on this boat as it is too big. Never fancied the Rochdale canal. Heard a lot of horror stories about it. Fingers crossed you get to do it. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
Evening guys,
Luckily, you had good weather on the trip, compared to now!
I could have told you about the Canada geese - they are noisy sods, and fields full of them there.
Yes, and that hill does us in every time from the canal to Whins lane. When we walk round there we tend to go down it!
Hope Dexter is as well as can be, bless him.
Enjoy the weekend.x
Hey Bill.
Hope you have finally recovered. It was a stunning spot despite the geese. The hill is a killer.
Dexter is doing better thank you.
Hope you guys are ok. Have a great weekend ♥️
Hello Paul, Anthony and Dexter Dog,
It’s good to see Paul carrying shopping (weight) and hear him talking about driving to his magic show, which must mean he is a lot lot better now, which is so nice to hear.
Anthony, a nice bit of reversing, keeping everything positioned correctly with your thrusters. Very impressive.
I was surprised you were having to varnish your skylight surrounds after only one year open to the elements. That shows how strong nature is, The Sun, The Wind, and the Rain all take their toll.
Lovely to see Dexter, really sorry to hear of his issues.
I laughed at seeing the Duck on your skylight. How kool is that? I really like ducks.
What beautiful countryside you are travelling thru. Even when it was pouring, it still had a lovely feel about it.
Those locks around Blackburn were grand almost Majestic like.
You passed a building that had a big “G” that looked like a Granada TV “G”, but I’m guessing the building had nothing to do with the TV studio?
Anthony your arm looked sore. I felt your pain.
A lovely and interesting Vlog as always. Loving the banter (Anthony is steering the boat) Paul says to Anthony “What are you doing Anthony” Anthony replies “I’m steering the boat” That is pure Paul & Anthony banter, Thank you very much. All the very best. Spoolbox.
Hey Spoolbox,
It is good that Paul is on the mend. He found out he will need additional laser surgery on his other eye 🙄.
I do like the challenge of reversing 😂, much easier with bow thrusters though
I don’t think the skylights had been treated properly from the beginning, but the new varnish is highly recommended so fingers crossed.
My arm still feels sore, almost like I have chipped the bone.
Never seen a duck from that angle before 😂.
Blackburn locks do look great but wouldn’t want to be stuck there 😬.
I do think that the building has Granada head quarters. Brought back some memories.
Glad you enjoyed and glad your comment got through.
Have a lovely week and take care ♥️
Great video,partly because it’s been a long time since I last heard it called a galley,soooo many channels call it the kitchen 🙂
widebeams have kitchens narrowboats have galleys because they are smaller perhaps.
On narrow boats they rarely call the master bedroom a stateroom and the lavatory a head.
If the master bed is a pull out there is nothing stately about it .
Thanks for another gorgeous trip guys. That looks like a very beautiful part of the world. It doesn't look that busy for midsummer. Do narrowboats go South for the summer! I hope Dexter's health improves.
Cheers Neil. It was a beautiful cruise. Really pretty round here. I think as you get nearer to Skipton, there are more hire boats, probably due to all the locks before you get to where we are. Thanks for the well wishes for Dexter. He looks like he is putting on weight bless him. Have a lovely weekend ♥️
When in the UK🇨🇦, I was so surprised when people who recognized each other, stood having a chat along the road while the rain pored all over them (no umbrella in sight). There was my cousin and myself under our umbrellas😊. We have had an unusual amount of rain here lately. 90% change of rain tomorrow but after that, it is going up to 27c+ sun, sun, sun! Thank you for letting us enjoy a little bit of England…one of my friends has a Golden Retriever, she has to feed her sitting up with a spoon to stop her from being sick. I think she is 9ish.
We are hardy folk Shirley. 😂. Would love a bit of sun here.
We have started to liquidise Dexter’s food and it has made a massive difference bless him. Have a great weekend ♥️
@@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked can you be as hardy as🇨🇦🤣
😂
