Whoops

A friend just pointed out to me that my blog was not enabled for comments from the general public. Here I am welcoming comments on my blogs and I didn't even grant you all the ability to do so. How very inhospitable of me - I must not have learned the true ways of the South yet.

I think I fixed the comment block, so once again, I invite you to comment as much as you like on our blog, and I will try to keep up my end of the bargain by posting more often. Mea Culpa-

Fresh Air! Another perk of having dogs

Although I spent most of my Spring Break in my office trying to catch up, I did get a chance to get some fresh air with these three:


This is Lake Ella which is about a mile from our house

We logged some patio time in the evenings
Yep, Sawyer still loves the lap
And for some reason Lady really likes beer and wine. Don't worry, we are looking into a 12-step program for her

And we even carved out a day for a beach trip!
Lady now knows that whn we get in the gold car, we are going on some kind of adventure (I use this term loosely). She doesn't care which seat she rides in, she just jumps in and starts whining impatiently

Although we can get to the coast in about 30 minutes from Tallahassee, the beaches are better on St. George Island which is about 2 hours away
We hoped the dogs would like splashing around in the tide,
but they were pretty terrified of the water
We got them extended leashes and tied them to a stake so they would have a bit more room for exploring. I wish we could let them totally off-leash, but they are neither courteous of other people's personal space, nor aware that birds can fly further than they can run
Nap time
He uses his cuteness against me

A little jog on the beach

Eventually we let Sawyer run loose a bit because, unlike Lady, he is good about coming back when we call him
Chasing after birds on the beach was the highlight of his entire puppyhood
A, A, S & L wishing you a Happy Spring!
