As I reached for my totem and discovered this was not a dream, I headed into the surf and paddled as hard as I could. Fourth of July and me have a history of not going so well. There was last year, and the many rainy years before that...

Spending a carefree day at the beach riding the waves and her the elevator has put me in a new frame of mind. Carefree. My road trip to Jupiter was very worthwhile due to the perfect weather and the fresh environment. Ever see the movie "What about Bob?" I decided this was my vacation from all worries. Surfing, diving, coda chasing other dogs on the beach was what Dr. Lauren prescribed. So I took my doberman, and then headed out someplace we'd never been before.

Over the 4th of July Weekend we went to the beach and stayed at the condo in Jupiter. Coda used the elevator to get up and down the stairs so we didn't put any pressure on her neck. At first she kinda got real nervous and started shaking as the floor began to move. After a couple times she got over realizing all the fun was outside, not inside.

The rain will not let up at all. This morning I was glad to find the pet store open to make a treat run for my dog. It's her independence day too. Now, I'm going to settle in with some reading and watch TdF and imagine sunnier places to be.

Hope you are having a great holiday weekend this 4th of July.
