4 Dog Mother/fivedogdad meets delidog Pictures from trip to Florida

[4 Dog Mother]

On Monday evening I returned from a weeklong trip to Florida to see my husband fivedogdad who is now living and working in Melbourne. While I was there, we had dinner at a very nice restaurant named the Quilted Giraffe with Delidog and her friend John. Here are some of the pictures we had taken of our evening together

Here is one of Nicole (delidog) by herself


We had a great time visiting with them and actually closed the restaurant. I think they were glad when we finally walked out the door and quit asking them to take pictures for us. It is too bad that the restaurant would not let Joey, Delilah and Joey in because we would have loved to have met them. But the chance is still there. Our house will soon be going up for sale and hopefully we will be seeing a lot more of Nicole and John after we move down there.

Other pictures for the trip - my niece Danielle who is three months younger than Amy (Cincy's mom), her husband, Nick and her three year old daughter, Katrina went along with me. Here is a picture of the little cutie:

Here is a picture of her with Dazzi and my sister the night before we left:

And one of her with Amy who is her Godmother

Here Katrina is with one of Julia's four cats (Duke)

One of the cats Dazzi stayed with (my sister's -this one is named Cubby)

A 200 year old turtle we saw at a pet store:

At first we didn't think it was alive - it looked so petrified but then parts began to move - the tongue, the eyes, the head and the legs. It was quite scary to look at - but then again we probably would be too if we lived to be 200!

Katrina is beautiful! I love her smile and her eyes in the one with the lizard.

Great pictures!! I'm so jealous. I've lived in Florida my WHOLE life yet i've only seen a dolphin wild once, and it was in a nasty canal type thing.


I can't wait until you guys fully move down here!!

Katrina is adorable!

Wow, I didn't know you were moving to Florida. I'll miss seeing your crew in Findlay.

Kay, once we get settled you will have to come see us. I am not sure if it happens year round or not but the two times the last time was in June of 2002) I have been to this area I have seen dolphins in this "lake" - an area separated from the ocean by an island. There are suppose to be Manatees near the docks too but have never made it there. Last time we went we saw a huge sea turtle laying her eggs in the sand. Florida sure has some amazing wild life!

Now I know what you meant when you said a 3 year old went along! She is gorgeous!

Katrina is a beautiful child but boy is she a live wire! I think she sleeps less than anyone I know. She doesn't fall asleep until 11 or midnight and at 6:30 in the morning she would pop into my room and climb up on the bed. "Where is your mom and dad?"
"Sleepin" she would say. Then she would give me a big hug and kiss and start jabbering away! Her naps consisted of 15 or 20 minutes car ride time.

She is such a sweetie! On Mother's Day, I called my mom to wish her Happy Mother's Day. Katrina got on the phone wished her Happy mother's day, then asked "Where is granpa?"; How's him doing?" This is her great-grandfather! She gets to see them fairly often but still it amazes me the thing she says.
