One Month In

Nikita and I have been spending alot of time out on the lakefront, either just south of our building on the beach or just north of it at the Point. At around 6:30am, after a quick bathroom stop in front of the Flamingo, we head straight for the Point's doggie water fountain, where Nikita invariably entertains a series of admirers, both canine and human (cyclists, joggers, walkers, etc.)


We then walk over to the beach, where we usually run into Chaiko and Bruno (pictured below) and their people Phil and Laura. The two big dogs play fetch in the water and Chaiko, a giant schnauzer, even swims, but Nikita's run in only once, and very briefly at that. I'm hoping as it gets hotter she'll get more interested. (Maybe my going in first would help too, but that requires the water getting warmer. Soon, I hope.)




The dogs play while we watch and chat, then Nikita and I eventually cross back under the Drive and head home, usually with the obligatory break to chew some branches along the way.


She then has breakfast, a quick "business" walk, then passes out for two or three hours. And usually snores.
