Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!


Ahoy! Avast ye. Mr. N is recruiting crew members to sail the seven seas and bring back pirate booty. No landlubbers. He promises lots and lots of edible treasures and pungent dead things to roll on. If you misbehave though, it's the plank for you! 

Not getting seasick, getting along with parrots and monkeys (and not eating them!), a taste for beef jerky, being an adept thief of food and having a flair for crazy adventures are all welcome qualities.

Would your pet make a good pirate for Mr. N's ship?

  1. Sadly, our pup Eddie would probably not be a good crew member, Mr. N. He's never been on a boat, but he hates car rides (movement). And water. So I can't imagine him on the high seas with you. You look adorable in your eye patch.

    1. Thanks! And yes that sounds like a combination for seasickness!

  2. OMG your dog is so cute. Yes, my schnoodle Victor would make an excellent pirate. He's kickass, fearless and takes no prisoners. However, he is also bossy and must be the leader so a mutiny attempt might result....

  3. Mr. N is so, so cute! A few of my FiveSibes would make good ship mateys, alas, one of our girls, Chloe, would not!

    1. Oh, no! She runs the other way or hides if she sees the hose or rain. My other ones love the pool!

  4. All of that sounds delightful to Barley except for rolling in stinky things! She's also a little scared of large birds and might think about eating the monkey, but she's well versed in Pirate language from watching Pirates baseball games with me and her grandpa!

    1. Well the rolling isn't mandatory! We'll have to find a nice lifestock guardian to carry the monkey.

  5. Oh, I think Luke would be "on board" with that! However, I'm not sure he can commit to not eating the parrots and monkeys. :)

  6. Oh yes....I currently have a couple of little pirates who would love to join you. They even already have their own ship! I wish I could include a photo of their ship here. I do have a link, though, so you can see if you think they might be able to join your fleet:

  7. Ruby would love to join Mr. N on the high seas! She does well in the car so I imagine she would also do well on a boat. LOL

  9. Oh Mr. N you are such a rascal - oops, meant pirate! None of us pooches have ever been in a boat. How long does it take to get your sea legs?

    1. Depends on the dog! Maybe you should practice first before going to sea!

  14. Shermie would love being N's first mate as he like to roll in anything that's dead and poop so he would smell appropriately for all ship voyages!

  15. Reese wants to be part of the crew. She LOVES the idea of smelly things to roll around in! BLACH!

    1. Haha. Well on the ship at least, they should be clean-ish?

  16. Theo looks great in his skull and cross bone bandanna and he'd love to have the chance to roll on pungent dead things! To be honest, I think Nelly and Sophie would love to as well!

  18. Mr N makes an adorable looking pirate. Kilo is such a pirate. He steals things and hides in his crate and has hats. He inspired my new kids book and app Penny P Pug and the Pirate Treasure Hunt. It is SO cute. Just tested last week and finishing prototype tis week.

  19. We don't think we'd be good pirates because we don't like water. MOL

  20. Jon Farleigh and Dewi are a couple of swashbucklers; they'd go! What an adorable pirate you have there!

  21. So cute! I love the eye patch. :) Manna wouldn't mind a little swashbuckling or treat snatching. Just don't ask her to walk the plank! Kitties don't do water. LOL
