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.
