Meet Beth & Linda

On our walk downtown today I met Beth & Linda, visiting from New Jersey. Welcome to Fernandina, a very dog friendly place.

We had just been down to the train depot, where we met some individuals in town for the reunion of the AS-18, USS Orion, a submarine tender (1941 - 1993).

Stroll downtown

As we headed to 4th St. Deli, we were stopped by Alaina who commented that I was handsome.  And yes I am, since it was just groomed last week.  She called into Get Out Of Hand gift shop for her friends Ashley, & Meghan to come out and meet me.

Some of my Russian Cousins.

Dad always shows a picture of a big BRT when explaining that I am a slight, 90-lbs when I should be 130-lbs.

Well here is a picture of a big Russian cousin.

Here is a video of a 6-mo old going through Schutzhund training.

Kelly, from Cocoa Beach.

Ms. Poppy and I met Kelly on our walk downtown this evening.  We had made our way from 3rd St. down to the Train Depot, and as we started back a group of people enjoying the benches in front of  The Cinnamon Bear Country Store, called out asking 'what kind of dog is that?'.  We walked across the street to meet them, Dad explained that I was a Black Russian Terrier and Ms. Poppy was a Bouvier des Flandres.

Ms. Poppy did her cuddle up by leaning thing and made friends with Kelly.  So when Kelly learned about my blog she agreed to a picture with Ms. Poppy and I.

Ms. Poppy, Kelly and yours truly.

Dad explained that Ms. Poppy was a Silver/Black Brindle and that she would be tiger striped is shaved.  Here is a picture of a shaved Silver/Black Brindle Bouvier.

This evening's walk, from Courthouse to Brett's & back.

We met lots of people on the walk, one even made a first guess that I was a Bouvier, then second was Black Russian. 

We met the Curl family, by Brett's.  They are visiting from South Carolina.

Met Lisa at Outback Steak House

Yesterday Ms. Poppy and I went to Outback Steak House for Dad's birthday.  While there several of the staff stopped by to say hello.

Ms. Lisa even wanted a picture with us.

On the way to Sound on Centre we met Leeynda and Melody.

We were on our way to listen to Ray, he owns the two wirehaired pointing griffons who sometimes take my ball at the dog park.  He is part of the band Honey Bagers who were playing at Sound on Center this month.

We met and made friends with Leeynda and Melody from Washington, DC.  Note they are color coordinated with our leashes.
