Vacation Memories

[Carol and Banjo]

While in Florida this past February we had many wonderful days on the beach.  The best part of our vacation was tthat the beach was wonderfully dog friendly. and it seemed almost everyone there had a dog!   Everyday was a wonderful adventure with new people and dogs to meet!   Banjo was in heaven!   Happy Dog = Happy Dog Parents!   

One afternoon towards the end of our stay Banjo and I were walking the beach and encountered a woman with her young son and - get this - a nine day old baby lamb!   It's not everyday you see a family and their lamb on the beach....at first I thought it was just an odd looking dog.   I asked if we could stop and say hello to which she replied "yes".   Banjo never blinked an eye....he gave this little guy a couple of sniffs,, I allowed him more leash and he and the lamb started prancing about with each other.  Once I was sure Banjo wasn't going to be too rough or crazy I let him off leash.   It was the cutest thing I've ever seen...the two of them romping around together.   The little lamb was quite fast and Banjo really seemed to enjoy chasing him.   Of course.....I DIDN'T have my camera!!!!   ARGH!    I must have lugged that camera up and down the beach nearly everyday...but not this day!  

The woman explained that she'd come down to take Easter Photos, she took many pics of the two of them and said she'd email me pics.    Neither of us had paper and pencil,  she said she thought she'd remember my email.   It seems her memory is about as good as mine.   I  would have loved to see these pics and share!

The lamb was just darling.  She said he was house broken.  When he has to "go" he goes to the door and lays down.

He's a "house" lamb and sleeps on her sons bed...LOL.    I have no experience with lambs and had no idea people kept them inside as pets but this little guy was so cute I can understand why you'd want to.

Banjo had a little lamb, her fleece was white as snow!  Too bad about the pics!  Maybe she will remember...

That is so funny and strange! I wish I could see photos of this. Good boy Banjo!
