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!
