New Years Eve, fresh from visit with the Groomer.

After leaving Hot Paws, we went downtown for a walk and to collect cookies from Amelia Fine Jewelry and Olive Amelia.  We parked on 3rd, so the first stop was Amelia Fine Jewelry.  Then on to Olive Amelia.  On the way back to the car we met Claire and her friend Charles, who were enjoying a box of fudge from Fantastic Fudge.

Claire agreed to pose with me.

Claire & Konna

PS: Clarie the post I told you about is December 2017.

Christina from Delray Beach met Konna

Christina, visiting Fernandina met Konna (Black Russian Terrier, blue lead) and Gigi (Bouvier des Flandres, pink lead) as they were waiting in front of Olive Amelia for their cookies.  Olive Amelia is one of their stops on the Cookie Route, stores that hand out cookie.  Other stores have water bowls out.  Fernandina is a dog-friendly place, restaurants with patios allow dogs and many VRBO rental allow dogs.

Christina, please share on your social media.

Konna met Piper at Farmer's Market this morning.

R-L, Gigi, Piper and Konna.

Konna and Gigi were at Farmer's Market this morning, braving the rain while waiting on some Bouvier friends.  They were going to meet up and tour the 8-Flags Auto Show.  Piper stopped by and wanted to say hello.

Shortly after, Bentley and Loki arrived.  We took this picture then went to the coffee shop.  Then the rain came down. 

R-L Bentley, Loki, Gigi and Konna.

Monster, Casolete, and Hector arrive.  The rain came down harder and we all took shelter under the awning at Robertson's Jewelry.  The rain finally slacked and we visited with some of the owners.

It was lunchtime so we all went to London's for lunch.

Will add pictures of Monster and friends when I get them.  All told six bouvs, three fawns, three brindles, and one Black Russian Terrier.

Meet Byran

Byran and his friends stopped to say hello and Byran agreed to be in a photo with me and Gigi and sent it so I could post it.

Yappy Hour, September 2019

Yappy Hour is back, hosted by Friends of Animals in Nassau (FAN) with support from Redbone and Hot Paws.  The new venue is Shuckers.

We arrived a little early, to a full patio.  Octavio (Hot Paws), Poppy, Konna and Gigi groomer came over to say hello.

We looked around for seating in the covered patio.  Dorthy and Bill were seated with their daughter at a table for four, they invited us to join them.  They didn't have their Lab and Bull dog with them, they just happened on the event.

Dorthy provided this picture of here and Gigi.

They live in Valdosta, Georgia but have a Fernandia Beach condo that they visit frequently.  Hope to see you at future Yappy Hour's.

Alina, Ellie, Karah and Alanna

Today I met Alina, Ellie, Karah, and Alanna as Ms. Gigi and I were sitting with Dad in front of the Coffee Shop.  They are all locals.

Met Dorina from Toluca, Mexico

Yesterday was Dad's 75 birthday, Mom  took him to Gilbert's Underground Kitchen, they have opened their patio, so Gigi, Poppy & I will be able to accompany Mom and Dad, rather than staying in the car, the next time.

After dinner we went downtown for a walk, where we met Dorina.  She is visiting from Toluca, Mexico.  LaTorre's was closed so no cookies tonight. [1]

Gigi, Dorina, me, blocking Poppy and mom.

Nice meeting you Dorina, hope you enjoy your time in Fernandina.

[1] La Torre's and Amelia Fine Jewelry  both hand out cookies, so they are on our cookie route.  Sometimes we visit Happy Tomato Cafe, where Rick gives us bacon.  On Tuesday's when the dog park is closed we usually visit Fantastic Fudge, where we share mom and dad's ice cream.

Anna & Rebekah from Atlanta

It was Tuesday, and the dog park was closed.  That means a trip downtown, with a stop at the ice cream shop.

On the way we met Anna and Rebekah, from Atlanta.  Anna also has a blog, but didn't send the URL, maybe she will so we can cross post.
