MOM'S FRIEND FROM PA

A visitor from PA came to explore Florida with us. We went to some beaches yesterday and then Mom and Donna ate at a fancy seafood restaurant and I slept in the cool shaded car. The parking guy made sure I was OK and gave me a biscuit. He was a nice guy. Today we are going to Miami and explore the area. it is cool and breezy right now. We all slept good in the rv- I shared my space.

VERY HOT AND NO SHADE

I almost passed out -so hot. I ate grass so I got sick of course. Mom forced me to go in rv for rest and cool air. I am feeling better. Mom also needed a rest from the heat. Drove Alligator alley but no alligator sightings. Almost ran out of gas but finally found a place- that GPS is a life saver for us. All checked in at rv site and set up. Ft Lauderdale is a hot place. Will go out later.

This campground is not as friendly as the others. No-one says hi to me or mom. All I see are small yippy french poodles and puffy dogs. Airplanes are going over all the time. No good eating places around here or any grocery stores - just office buildings.

LAST DAY in FT MYERS

It was so hot today- I crawled under the rv for shade and to lay in cool sand. Mom took me to a off the leash beach but it smelled like a swamp. Some dogs were misbehaving and fighting and mom decided I didn't need all that excitement. I got sand all over mom's truck. We got caught in a traffic jam and it was boring. Here are some shots of campground... etc.

RESTED ALL DAY

I didn't do much today- just chillin in my crib. Mom got a grill to cook hamburgers and hot dogs on so I think I will have some good meals soon. Dry food gets boring. I am checking out the neighbors tonight but being friendly in the process- not barking at them just staring. I had a tick near my eye today - mom tried to wipe it away but she had to grab and pull it off. I have 3 collars on now and look really bad.... my regular collar, my prong collar and my shock collar. People are scared just looking at me

FT MYERS- HOT PLACE

Some really cute dogs here- they are good looking florida babes. I am resting up - just looking at all of them makes the eyes tired. I am chilling in my crib right now and Mom went to the pool to chill. We saw a lighthouse today and the beach so I sniffed and tasted the gulf water - not that great. Spring water is better and colder please. I am a pampered guy you know.
More later

FT MYERS FLORIDA FOR 4 DAYS

My chain is wrapped 4 times around the picnic table 4 times. I can walk maybe 4 feet and back. The neighbors are right out our back door- can't help but get to know them. Mom took me to a dog walk area and I did my business. The heat is really wearing me out so I don't mind not moving too much. Mom went to the swimming pool and cooled off and I stayed in the rv with the fans on. We didn't do much today- it was 2 pm by the time we arrived then Mom had to hook everything up.

HOT DAY in FLA

Mom left me in rv and went shopping on a hot day and she turned the fan too cold so I was shivering when she got back. I just went outside and got thawed out. It didn't take long.
Then I wiggled out of my chain and it took her a while to notice- but I didn't go away- I know no-one here - I just stood there and stared at her. She was doing her Soduko puzzle. She looked so worried when she noticed and I felt so loved. Going to see Molly tonight- I miss my Khlea- she makes my tail wag and she knows how to play rough and have fun.

LITTLE DOGS DON'T LIKE ME

For some reason - little dogs don't like me. I can understand why Molly growls at me- she is protecting her turf and family. I do the same thing. Little Tommy is very friendly but again he is protecting his Mom. But a little dog got away from her owner and came charging at me. I didn't even realize what was happenning but Mom did. She yanked me up on her chest so my face was in her face and the little dog was down around my legs. Mom was so worried about what would happen if I hurt the little dog. I was just wondering what my crazy mom was doing? No disaster so we continued our walk around the neighborhood and the lady got her dog back safely. I walked 10,000 steps and am a tired big dog. it is hot in Florida.

SWAM IN A LAKE THAT HAS ALLIGATORS IN IT

Molly and I and our owners waded in Lake Louisa in the nearby State Park. Cool clear not deep water... I had so much fun in the sand and water. I also took a nature walkin the rv park.... Rested in the rv in the fan and watched all the people, golfcarts and other dogs. No goats here.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF PALS IN FLORIDA

I met a dog named Molly and Tommy today. Tommy was very friendly and wanted to touch noses with me. He is a male so I don't know about him. Molly is a cute little dog and I like her but all she does is growl at me. Oh well tomorrow we will go swimming in a lake without alligators and have a good time. Mom is so worried about me biting some people or other dogs but I am being good. I am tired - it is so warm down here. My nose is sunburnt. I need SPF 30.
Here is Mom and me in front of a mural on a bath house. It is painted by local residents.
