My best friend from high school came down to visit with her two kids to get away from the icy cold and to catch some of the nice South Florida sunshine. The hounds did pretty good with all the commotion in our normally quite house. Even though Sandy tried to keep her head buried till it was all over...
Miami has an incredible zoo. If you ever come to Miami, you have to check out the Miami Metro Zoo. It is one of the best Zoo's in the country. You can get so close to the animals and the new Amazon and Beyond Exhibit is VERY cool.
SO... we went to the zoo and we saw....
A sad, red elephant....
Alligators swim in the water...
Something with 6ft long curly horns...
A gorilla butt....
The Miami Zoo is very interactive. One of the highlights is being able to pet and feed the Giraffes. Very cool.
Then we tried to pawn the kids off as baby birds, but momma bird was not fooled and alas we had to take them back.
The next day we headed over to Key Biscayne to Bill Bags State Park. This was a great park with an awesome lighthouse and a great beach.
Then this raccoon showed up and tried to get in the garbage.
One thing I love so much about greyhounds is their gentle nature and obedience. How many other breed of large dogs would walk calmly by the side of a 4 year old?
On their last day here, we headed down to the Keys for some fun on the beach. Marathon Key is dog friendly so I brought Strut along for his first trip to the beach! He loved the water and got his first lesson on salt water!
We had a great day at the beach! Strut is a very trusting dog and will go anywhere I go!
My visitors also enjoyed their day in the Keys!
And while all of you Northerners were enjoying this:
(that's my nephew in the pic)
We were enjoying this!
