Many of you have been asking how Obie has been doing. Everyday is an adventure for Obie. He does not like the sailing very much but he loves the fulltime attention he gets from Mom & Dad. He sleeps in the bottom of our bed each night, gets up with Dad in the morning and does his business outside on the poop deck (we actually have a special piece of artificial turf that sits in a plastic tray on the aft deck). Then he anxiously awaits his morning treat at the top of the companion-way. Then just like back home he goes back to bed until something worthwhile happens.
While sailing Obie sits in his little dog bed at my feet behind the helm or in the warm pouch of someone’s hoody.. For some reason he thinks this is the safest place on deck. When things get rough Obie has his own personal lifejacket with a convenient carrying handle. Obie is at home down below, we keep his food and water in our stateroom, he spends his leisure time snuggled on one settee or the other in the main salon. He is the best burglar alarm ever made, any slight sound or intruder is instantly reported. 
Obie’s favorite time is shore-leave. He can smell land long before any of us see it. Obie has snuck onto many beaches, restaurants, stores, and museums inside his special carry bag. He will ride the bus, he goes on the dinghy, the ferry, the taxi, or any other conveyance, just so long as he gets to go with us!!! Obie loves to go for walks, cruise the shopping district, and ride 
bikes. He has a special bike basket that quick mounts to our bike and has a roll cage for his protection. Jodi is considering becoming a sales rep for the company that made the carrier...she could have sold hundreds by now, even with paying Obie a commision!!!Everywhere he goes, he brings a smile to young and old, Obie has been greeted by perhaps thousands of people wherever we travel, there are many many Dachshund lovers in the world, he has become an incredible ambassador for the canine world. Here’s to the “Amazing Flying Obinator”: the greatest dog in my world.
