Make a portion of Brevard's beaches dog-friendly...

Bailey and Emma at New Smyrna Beach

Yesterday, our mom was featured in Florida Today. She's trying to get a portion of the beaches in Brevard county open to dogs. We'd love it if that happened!

It was a dog park day!

Today we piled in the car and took a drive down to Port St. John. We went to the new dog park! Boy is it great. It was HUGE! When we got there, there were about 10 other dogs playing and having fun. We joined right in. Emma had to zoom around at top speed for several minutes, enjoying the open space. Bailey always keeps it a bit more sedate. We stayed about an hour. We give it 8 paws up for being big and muddy, two of our favorite things. Mom and Dad didn't take any pictures though, they were too busy chasing us around and trying to keep tabs on zooming Emma (bad parents!). We sure are tired! Here is a link to Fay Lake Wilderness Park info.

The park is nice with a lot of space, plenty of water and a few kiddie pools. Several chairs are lined up for parents to watch the fur kids too. There is also a nice hose to wash off all that dirt before you go home. Mom was happy about that!

Next time, we'll be heading to the dog park in Palm Bay. Don't worry, we'll be sure to tell you all about it!
