I live on board with my French Bulldog, Bernadette. I have to be extra cautious with the short snout breed. As we're heading into summer, this is a reminder of three things that can help save your dog's life if they overheat. Some signs of overheating are excessive panting, vomiting and diarrhea. Getting your dog fully wet or dousing them with cold water can shock their system and have an opposite effect. A fan on them is better than cold water! 1) Swabbing Rubbing Alcohol on their paw pads helps them cool down. 2) If your dog vomits and can't breathe, a couple drops of lemon juice cuts bile. 3) A couple drops of liquid sugar can save your dog's life. Dogs can become hypoglycemic when overheated...just like people...which destroys their major organs. Raising the blood sugar quick can help avoid that. Happy sailing everyone! #svmaddream #csy #femalesailor #bernadettemuffinbum #piratedog #sailordog #saltydog #seadog #hotdog #frenchbulldog #sailing #sailboat #florida #bocaciegabay #bocaciegamariners #summer #pettips #besafe https://www.instagram.com/p/CAkoqUzAKiu/?igshid=1a92r117qh50a

Some day, I hope to live as well as my dog. Bernadette enjoying the island while I scrape barnacles off the dink. #bernadettemuffinbum #saltydog #piratedog #islanddog #seadog #adogslife #retired #frenchbulldog #svmaddream #csy #femalesailor #winterisland #rabbitisland #pasadena #florida #dirtyjobs #barnaclescraping #dreamon #itmustbenoonsomewhere https://www.instagram.com/p/CAS8C86gBkI/?igshid=1mu2babiscm2x

The new generator is here! I have hot water on board for the first time since I left the marina! AND Jesse and John finished fixing the transmission! I'm mobile again for emergencies. AND I'm making new cushions for the quarter berth. AND my doggo is learning how to sit. 😎 #bestdayofmylife #svmaddream #bernadettemuffinbum #hotwater #hugeblessing #smallmiracles #piratelife #aargh #personalhygeineisoverrated #sailboat #csy #sailing #sewingatsea #gulfport #frenchbulldog #sailordog #cheeseballs #assgasorcheeseballsnobodyridesforfree https://www.instagram.com/p/B61SBa1gK4K/?igshid=i6ieldp31a7n

I don't have Internet or computer on board yet. Pretty much every fear I had came true in one fail swoop and I've been scrambling with no time to record. On the move down to Gulfport from Clearwater we blew a head gasket. Then we blew the damper plate off the transmission. We found out TowboatUS didn't cover either captain aboard. Jesse, John and Sam ended up towing us tandem alongside John's Hunter 42 down the intracoastal through all the bridges to Gulfport. A storm came in my 2nd night here. A smaller boat dragged and got caught in my anchor line. I've got a lot of leaks coming through the rails on my deck so everything I own is soaked from the rain. Can't heat water because the generator only has 15 amp plugs. It also leaks gas and conks out every other day. Half of my electrical outlets were pulled apart and all of my new plumbing was leaking. Jesse and John both had the flu for a week and a half. But, the good news is, fat little brick of a dog, Bernadette is adjusting well. I can't get her to pee on her grass patch...but she snoozes happily on the boat all day. The local pirates dinghy us back and forth to shore a couple of times a day. The guys have worked hard trying to resolve all these issues. New generator and dinghy are on the way. Hoping my bunk doesn't become a water bed again with the rain coming today! These are some photos of the good moments in between during the past two weeks. 😎 #svmaddream #bernadettemuffinbum #gulfport #yohoho #piratelife #onthehook #livingthedream #halp (at Gulfport, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6srodHg7vG/?igshid=xoyu9o3mb2s6
