VDay with Frannie

There's a dog beach in Lovers Key.

I've been wanting to take Frannie there.

But she can be bitchy.

And she is old.

Since today was already somewhat ruined by Murray's absence, I decided to try it.

After all, what did I have to lose?

We set off before lunch.

A pee, immediately upon arrival.

Some exploring.

A dip....

She couldn't have had more fun.

Running with a younger crowd.

Making friends.

She was fetching like a pup!

Other owners were playing fetch...Frannie was leaping & jumping & beating those younger dogs to the ball.

I still can't believe what a social butterfly she was at the dog beach!

We stopped in Fort Myers Beach for a walk on the way home.

Dogs are allowed, but need a leash. 

She didn't mind.

We found a starfish on our walk. 

It was still alive so I threw it back. 

That's the 3rd live starfish I've saved. 

I hope I find one I can keep someday.

Then we sat in the sun for a bit.

I do believe Frannie is a beach bum!

Who wouldn't love it here?

We're home now...and she's pooped.

She was snoring so loud in the backseat of the car, I heard her over the open windows!

I'm so glad to know I have an always available beach buddy.

BEST.

DOG.

EVER.

PERIOD.
