Just wanted to update everyone on the situation. As of Friday, January 11th, we are officially at the beach! The unfortunate thing is that until April 30th (or later) we are going to be in a rental. There is good news though, the good news is that I can see the ocean from our front porch and it is so close to walk to it with the dogs!
On Saturday this weekend, I got up the courage to ride my brand new bike Jeremy got me for Christmas. It is a beach cruiser bike and the grocery store on the island is 2.7 miles away. Now, when Jeremy bought the bike for me, he also gave me baskets to put on it, so in case I wanted to go grocery shopping and just ride my bike...I could do so! I thought I would make it a little ways and then turn around because I was too tired to continue, but luckily I was wrong! I made it all the way to the store, got my groceries, and came back for a total bike ride of 5.4 miles! I was very proud of myself for that little achievement and I hope to do it as often as I can.
Having all four of our dogs in a rental is a hard thing to do sometimes. Right now Bear and Saghani call the GIANT garage their home. We made it into their own doggie bedroom type thing. They have their food and water of course, a large padded mattress thingy with blankets to sleep on, tons of toys to play with, and short walks with us for bathroom runs! At the moment we are unable to take them to the beach because we are getting the prepped and ready for being calm and low active. Bear tore his cruciate ligament in one of his hind legs and he is going to be having surgery very soon for that. Saghani is also going to be having a little medical treatments of her own where she will need to be as inactive as possible for a little while...and if you know Saghani...you know that is going to be HARD!!
Arya and Quorra have been getting better at not barking at people when we are walking on the beach. We have been taking them once earlier in the day and then again around sunset time for beach walks, and they are having a ball. Yesterday they were so happy running around and playing with each other me and Jeremy were having a laughing fit just watching them chase each other around.
On a fun little side note, yesterday when we were walking on the beach Jeremy looked down and saw a crab walking toward us...and it was so adorable, he took a photo of it and put it on Facebook and it got lots of comments already. I am sure lots of things like that will start happening to us!
Well, I guess that is all for a little update until I am able to start taking some pictures for you all and doing whatever sounds fun! Talk to you soon!
Have A Magical Day!!
