Chloe's beach trip

Way back in May we spent our first full week ever in a beach house on St George Island FL. Its a deatination renowned for being dog friendly, with "lax leach laws" (verbal commands). I was just a little apprehensive about how well that verbal command stuff would actually work, and how relaxed a rescued Ridgeback can be in the wide open free-space of a beach setting. I cant say how many times while packing and loading up the car Greg and I both wondered aloud "are we crazy / are we doing the right thing???" secretly I worried what might happen: what if Chloe ran away from us? It turns out May is a great time to go-- very few people. Although it's all a distant memory now , for weeks following the trip I relished the fun and the freedom we shared with "the girl". Within two days Chloe was comfortable with the whole deal--and as the pictures show her highlights included feeding the seagulls from the upper deck--we just had to make sure she didn't take flight.
The last shot was the car ride home--sweet memories.
