Fort Pierce Inlet





What a nice park.  My mom says its a lot like John Lloyd.  It is in the sense that there are lots of nice dog walks and picnic benches.  I even found a dog wash.  Like all of the parks, I am not allowed on the beach or in the water.  That is ok.  I read the sign.  Nobody was allowed in the water because there is dangerous marine life on the loose.  Sharks.  Man-of-War.  Just as scary as alligators.  Maybe worse.  I enjoyed the view from afar.  The nice volunteer at the park entrance thought I was cute and gave me a cookie.

Oleta River Part 2


Here I am refusing to drink a bowl of fresh water from the dog spigot.  I prefer the brackish water.  My Mom thinks I'm nuts drinking salty water.  I like the salty water.  What's wrong with salty water?


Here I am swimming with the cute boy who thought I was a bear.  His friends said "Look a bear!."  After they saw my Mom they realized I was just a dog.


Here I am drinking water at the dog wash.  I told you this place rocks.  It has everything a dog desires.


Here I am trying to call my friend Roxie to tell her all about it.  What a great park.  A dog phone and all!

Oleta River Part 1


Here I am at one of my favorite parks.  I love this park because they let me get in some of the water.  I am not allowed on the pretty people beach, but I am allowed a dip in kayaking water.  This park rocks.



Here I am welcoming a nice man back from his kayak adventure.


Here I am walking my Mom along the beach that dogs are allowed to walk on.  Its just as nice as the people beach if you ask me.  It's actually better as its not so crowded with people.

Hunkered Down



Here I am freezing my tail off.  I thought I lived in the tropics.  The TV said it snowed.  Am I delusional?  No one will take me to any parks because they say its too cold.  A frozen cuban lizard fell out of the tree and I played with it until my photographer found out and took it away from me.  My Mom is worried about Manatees dying.  I wonder if all the alligators will freeze.

Highlands Hammock State Park



Another park infested with alligators!  I can't go anywhere without being told I can't go near the water. Actually, this park had lots of nice hiking trails.  My people walked me all over the place.  But when I found water, you guessed it - alligators again.  The park ranger at the gate was really nice.  She and I made friends.  We love each other!

Wekiwa Springs Part 2






Here I am free at last.  My people found a place where horses are allowed to hang out.  Sometimes my people call me a "Doberman" and sometimes they call me a "horse."  Since they put me in here I can assume that dobermans and horses are the same thing.  It was nice getting off the leash but it would have been more fun if my friends Roxie and Pinky were there to play with.  I got bored so I decided to go read a sign.  For once it didn't say "No Pets."

Wekiwa Springs Part 1









Here we are at Wekiwa State Park.  My Mom and my photographer call it a "five star park for sure".  Well, I may beg to differ (you can read the sign can't you)?  But as you can see, I slipped into the river when no one was paying close attention.  I will give them some points for having a dog spigot however.
