Guess who's coming to visit?

Oops, guess they heard about the cool weather we have been having here.

"THE SEASON" is starting here. Lots of welcome visitors will be arriving within the next couple of months. This merry duo is coming to enjoy the tasty treats at "The Taste of Boca"

Aren't they just cuter than buttons?

The Taste takes place on the Gulf at sunset, with every kind of food AND FREE BOOZE --ALL YOU CAN DRINK!

Here is the icing  on the cake: This event supports the Harry Chapin Food Bank  AND the Steve Chapin band flies in for it. They rock!

HAPPYHAPPYJOYJOY!!!!!!!

OK,  it's probation only, but, hurrray!!! we went to the dog park for FIVE minutes of fun.

Oh, Joy and Rapture!

It's a Dog's Life

Well, I guess this is proof that Life for Fred has about gotten back to normal
Boca Style:

Five Months ago, Sun Valley style:

The benefits of weight loss

Old Fred was getting a bit chubby last year, so he had to go on an exercise/weight loss plan...... although the knee injury has definitely put a kybosh on the exercise part of the plan. When Fred was a baby he loved to hide under the high bed here. But as the pounds packed on, he could no longer fit.

Well, he was thrilled to find out last week that he can now den away under the bed again!

If you steal some clothes, it can get super cosy!

Course, ya gotta bring the ball

If you get right in the middle, no one can reach you, especially if you have a stolen sock or something like that. There was that one time when I ate a sock whole, and then threw it up, whole, five days later.

Pretty cute, huh?

Ouch!!! Still a tight fit.

No. NOT Goofy

Momma got a brand new camera!

Cute

Cute with flash

cute, but on the davenport

Wistful

Bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, and better looking

Done, and asleep.

And now, for some birds!

This heron's territory is the Redfish hole in my backyard.

These birds enjoy the sandbar past which the dolphins have been "romping" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

Another Fabulous First; Back on the Bay

Now, obviously, the bay is not nearly as fun as playing fetch the ball,  but, it's pretty good after two and a half months of misery.

Life is good.

For the first time since New Year's Day it will be above normal!

We live and die by the Weather Channel here in SW Florida.
Today, we could go outside and just do Lab stuff, Like:

Check out a tree

Next, drop the ball into the pool and try to figure THAT out:

Yep.  it's a pool.

Ball's in pool.

yep. it sure is.

UH Huh

Not taking my eyes off of it

yep it's there

Hey Winston, You're an English Springer Spaniel.....can you get it for me?

No? It's still there

HA! Got it!

Let's start all over again

How exhausting was that????
