When it comes to playing fetch with a tennis ball, a Springer Spaniel will always be the last dog standing, far and away. Our Springer, Bubba, lived for chasing tennis balls and virtually always had one in his mouth. He'd drop the thing in front of you and, if you didn't respond quickly enough, he'd pick it up, push you with his nose and drop it in front of you again. It sometimes drove us crazy, but we dearly loved that dog. Be happy!

ReplyDeleteGiven you're "home schooling" Finn, a great history lesson would be a visit to Ft. Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas. While you could take Fleetwing, that might be problematic with Hoolie and the weather at this time of year does leave something to be desired. An alternative would be for you or Ann (or both of you if you can find a trustworthy dog sitter for a day) to take him aboard the Yankee Freedom. It's about a 2-1/2 hour ride and the Ferry includes a breakfast and lunch for visitors and the narrated tour of the Fort and the history lesson about the Civil War and the imprisoning of Dr. Harvey Mudd there after Lincoln's killing would be really instructive for Finn. (Unfortunately, too many of the children today get very little schooling in American History.) During one stay in Key West, we took our daughter out on the ferry when the weather was too sideways to go there on our own boat and, tho' not inexpensive, the cost and the effort were really worth it. (She still says that day was one of her favorite of our visits to Key West.)
Just a thought!

Scott'n Kitt, we're going to the aquarium today and sample the best hamburgers at Garbo's Grill. We've been the the Dry Tortugas but it's a long trip. We snorkeled the last time we were there. The nearby dog park was a great addition to the waterfront. As you know, Hoolie still outruns all other dogs. Warmer day today.
