Miki – A Day on the Beach – Carrabelle Beach, FL
There aren’t many places where dogs are allowed to run free on beaches in Florida, it seems.  But, Carrabelle Beach has a fabulous long stretch of beach that is a beach where dogs can run free.  In Miki’s case, this meant both a morning and evening of fun!
Beach Romp
It’s fairly early in the morning and Jeff has just turned Miki loose!  She may be almost 10 chronologically, but in spirit, she’s still a puppy!
Miki’s Element
I think I must have said this before in this blog, but I never knew German Shepherds were water dogs.  Maybe they aren’t generally, but Miki doesn’t follow in that mold – she loves to go fetching a stick in the water!
One More Toss
Here’s Miki, seemingly asking her Dad for just one more toss into the water.  She’ll be a bit stiff and sore tomorrow, but she’s loving it right now.  And, her vet has told us it’s ok to give her 1 regular strength buffered aspirin a day when she does get stiff, so we know she won’t be hurting for long.
Miki and the Gull
Ok, so if there’s no stick to chase into the water, Miki likes to run along the shore, chasing gulls.  She’s smart enough to know she won’t catch them, and they seem to realize that, too, so it’s all just good fun!
Enjoy – she is!

Welcome to Miki's World



Miki really loved this campground, mainly due to the beach!  Let’s take a look at things she got to enjoy –
 

 
When we first got here, she just sat on the bluff to keep us company and just sort of survey her domain for the next couple of days.  Can you blame her for just soaking this in?

 
Along the little bluff from the campsite to the beach, these lovely pink flowers were blooming.  She would run thru them to get from the bluff to the beach and back again.  Ahhh….a dog’s life!

 
Ravens were plentiful here, altho not one of Miki’s favorite neighbors.  Why?  Because if she left any food kernels in her bowl, the ravens would swoop down and take Miki’s left overs!  I found them really cool, and decided to convert this image to black and white, to sort of match the personality of the bird.

 
What a great portrait of Miki on the beach, waiting patiently for her dad to throw her stick into the water so she could take a swim and play catch!
Enjoy!
