    Two Golden Retrievers work well and one may suffice. Unsure whether
    Portuguese Water Dogs work - may be too friendly. George loves to set ducks
    flying and Coots splashing. This is his hobby, although I have gotten him to
    stop creeping up on sleeping Mallard couples. Of course, they no longer
    sleep on the finger next to the boat. Coots only paddle away from the Boyze,
    but Mallards take off with their landing gears and wingtips slapping the
    water. This is a complex biosphere down here on NW Creek, but swim platforms
    only get occasional gifts - some delivered by aerial bombardment.

    Don't forget to duck,
    Ron Rogers

    | We have always had a problem with the ducks on the swim platform. Of
    course, they create a big mess and quicken the speed that the teak needs to
    be re-finished. Does anyone have a method to keep the ducks off? We are in
    the process of making a new teak swim platform and would like to build in
    some sort of "duck proofing".
