Dog days in FLORDIA
12-6-14
After seemingly spinning our wheels getting acclimated to this new life, we finally decided it was time for a Lazy Day on the beach. We did a bit of webulating and selected St. Petersburg.
By the time we climbed in the Burb, the ski was all blue and the temp was up to 82!
In less than one hour we arrived at our destination. Out with Oscar, a couple towels, and the lawn chairs and down the boarded walk we go. At the last turn, just as we could see the white sand, we slap saw a sign stating "NO Dogs". It was too hot to leave Oscar in the Burb, so we all left.
Since Ruth had a cousin in the area we headed over there for a visit with Beverly and her husband Ed. Again "No Dogs". After a bit of hesitation, Beverly let us all in for about a 1 hour visit. Ruth enjoyed catching up and I had a great time talking with Ed. When we left we decided to call it a day and headed back to the CG.
With a few extra hours before bedtime, I ask Ruthie if we were all ready to fly back on the10th. Still a few details. Oscar had not become comfortable enough with his travel case, our bad. We only had 2 happy pills for the trip, need to call a local Vet Monday. Last we checked with the airline to verify Oscar's boarding instructions. Another surprise. The maximum dimensions we're quite a bit smaller than the one we had bought and Oscar barely fit if he curled.
OK let's recap. No beach, no St Pete condo, and no airplane.
Only choice left is an all expensed paid trip to NH in the Burb. So we'll be packing up Gracie for storage, loading up the Burb, and leaving sunny FLORDIA a few days early to get home for the holidays.
Fly FL to NH 9 hours door to door. Drive FL to NH 25 hours plus 2 layovers. I guess we love our dog. And our family, of course, why else would we do this?
