Being a landlubber again has its benefits: no flappy sails, no heaving to for a poo, and plenty of time with my buddy Spencer.<\/p>\n<p>To make the most of my time on land I\u2019ve been working on my memoirs. Problem is, like <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8PmX7zEUg_w?si=kG8texvggcC37TZ0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ted Lasso<\/a> says, I\u2019m as happy as a goldfish because I only have a 10 second memory. At least I can remember to tease old Spencer by stealing his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steeldogusa.com\/product\/rainbow-trout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">floppy fish<\/a> whenever I can! I\u2019m also working on a <em>practical<\/em> guide to sailing for dogs.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say most peoples don\u2019t understand dogs. Worse, almost nobody understands dogs on sailboats. I was lucky. My peoples were pretty good at living with me. It took a bit of training, but they stepped up. Honestly, I\u2019m proud of who they became. They were well behaved and cleaned up after themselves and gave me massages and fur treatments. That went a long way to making me happy. But I\u2019ve spoken with lots of other dogs on boats that didn\u2019t get the same experiences I got, and that\u2019s who I\u2019m writing the guide for.<\/p>\n<h6>My Guide to Sailing (for Dogs)<\/h6>\n<p>I figured I\u2019d test some of my ideas with you guys first and get some feedback*, so here goes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be patient with your peoples. They\u2019re slow to learn, but when they finally understand what they\u2019re supposed to do, reward them with unconditional love.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t overdo the potty thing. Most dogs like me like going outdoors where the grass can tickle our tummies. On a boat you can be away from land for a long time. Get your peoples to put a good mat on the side deck. One that doesn\u2019t slide around. Then train them to let you out so you can go there. It may take a few days, but they\u2019ll get the hang of it sooner or later. I know some peoples won\u2019t go offshore for more than 24 hours for fear of a doggo explosion. Where\u2019s the adventure in that? I also know some dogs that go inside the boat. That\u2019s gross! Don\u2019t fall for that trick &#8211; your peoples are lazy and need more training.<\/li>\n<li>Let your peoples know you can swim. We can all do the dog paddle. It\u2019s in our genes. Make sure they give you a lifejacket and make them put it on you. I had my peoples clip me into the cockpit when we were at sea. I didn\u2019t want them getting overexcited and jumping overboard after me.<\/li>\n<li>If you decide to go for a swim, make sure your peoples know where you are. They get skittish and weird if you\u2019re calmly doing the backstroke and they can\u2019t see you. Better not excite them too much.<\/li>\n<li>That brings me to dinghies. A good ship\u2019s dog brings stateliness to a dinghy. Stand in the bow with your head and ears erect, your back arched and tail at attention. That way you put to shame all other dinghies and tenders and ensure you get the best location at the dock. Feel free to jump in and out of the dinghy. Your peoples are likely fussy slowpokes and need a bit of chivvying along.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/zoolander-magnum.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-15489 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/zoolander-magnum.jpg?resize=520%2C347&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"zoolander-magnum\" width=\"520\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/zoolander-magnum.jpg?resize=520%2C347&amp;ssl=1 520w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/zoolander-magnum.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/zoolander-magnum.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/zoolander-magnum.jpg?resize=215%2C143&amp;ssl=1 215w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/zoolander-magnum.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you get to a new port and have a chance to walk around, make friends with as many peoples as you can. I learned that if you give them a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gx9O6q0pDAU?si=ibiQrAKsg8KCUDd-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoolander Magnum<\/a> look they\u2019ll give you all kinds of luvvies and treats. Your peoples will appreciate your ability to break the ice.<\/li>\n<li>When you\u2019re out at sea, be sure and find a nice warm spot to snuggle in. Especially with a crew member. You will feel better and so will your peoples.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re out on deck and see a seagull, bark for all you\u2019re worth. I learned that seagulls often congregate around where whales and dolphins feed. Your peoples always get excited about whales and dolphins. I don\u2019t know why, but I get extra luvvies when I bark at seagulls and a cetacean pops up above the surface. They can be scary at first. But after a while you realize they\u2019re just mammals. Kind of like how Britain\u2019s Royal Family are just mammals (\ud83e\udd23).<\/li>\n<li>In a new country it helps to have a strong stomach. Personally, my stomach is made of cast iron and I love all kinds of food. Many places like having dogs in their eating places. If you behave, you\u2019ll find you get all kinds of new things to eat.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t let rats or other stowaways on board. No matter what your peoples say, none of them like unexpected guests. As a rat terri(fi)er I know how to terrify rats. They never set foot on Aleta. I made sure of that. It\u2019s my way of earning my passage. That and unconditional kisses.<\/li>\n<li>Do your best to be useful in other ways. Keep your peoples warm at night \u2013 it gets cold on the water. Lick the dinner plates to help save water and pick up any pieces of food that drop on the floor. You know, just like at home. That way things stay shipshape and you become (almost) indispensable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s all I have for now. I\u2019m working on turning each point into a whole chapter in my book. I\u2019ll get to it just after I have a nap and poke fun at Spencer.
