Florida Nature

Sand Hill Cranes are interesting creatures. We see them often while traveling around Tampa Bay. We recently found a family - mom, pop and two babies - hanging around a shopping center! This one was near the Brandon Mall.

Thunderstorms almost daily. But I bark at them and they go away.

Fun in Southern Florida!

I had an exciting trip to southern Florida! The Travelodge in Homestead is a pet friendly motel and so was the Shell Man tourist shop (above) in Marathon on the Florida keys. Note the sign on the railing - it welcomes pets inside on leash!

My mom did a booksigning at Hooked On Books in Islamorada and awarded prizes to the young artists who participated in the contest (visit http://authorevents.blogspot.com/)

On the way back to Tampa, we drove through the Everglades and met a gator on a dirt road - good thing I wasn't allowed out or I would have to bark at this big guy!

Then I took a long nap on comfy pillows in the back seat of our truck!
