Barklee, the Dog of the Day
Name: Barklee
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Maltese, Lhasa mix
Home: San Diego, California, USA
 
   This is a photo of Barklee in his favorite spot. Barklee is a 2 1/2 year old Maltese/Lhasa Apso mix with a bit of Terrier in there too, we think. We live on a 46-foot sailboat with Barklee in San Diego. Barklee loves the boat life in the marina slip, but even more so when we sail. He wears a doggie life jacket and hangs out in the cockpit with us and most definitely has his sea legs... all four of them.

    Most days, you can find him relaxing on the deck taking in the fresh air and the sun. He will trot around the boat deck, nap in the sun and then come below and work his way onto one of our laps. He loves to be on a lap... doesn't matter whose it is, either. If you sit down on the couch, he is going to wiggle his way onto someone's lap.

    Barklee is extremely smart and has adapted well to the marine life we love. He has daily encounters with harbor ducks that come to the stern of the boat daily, almost as if to see Barklee. They just look at each other for a long time and then both go their separate ways.

    During the day, Barklee comes to work with me and is our company mascot, so to speak. It is amazing how people just light up and enjoy having some time with Barklee in the work environment. He is a great stress reliever for us all.
