Benny and I went hiking on the Blue Ridge with some friends. I'll give you a hint; it's near the Pulpet overlook in Pennsylvania.
The answer to the last location is: The Willowdale Races.

This past Sunday, Benny, my sister and I went to the Jack Russel, pony and horse races all at the same place. Can you guess where?
Benny isn't as heavy as he looks.

I relocated the pool to the deck area and I'm allowing balls in the pool this time. Drinking the water is accepted but not recommended.

Granted it needs a little work and has to be dug out, but I think Benny likes it. Can you guess the State Park it's located in?
Answer to last Post: Assateague National Seashore

Benny and I spent the weekend camping at this National Seashore with friends. Can you name it?
The answer to the last post is the fire tower at French Creek State Park, located just off the Horseshoe Trail.

We went hiking on the historic Horseshoe Trail yesterday. Can you guess where Benny and the fire tower are? The answer to the last post is Elk Neck State Park in Maryland. A beautiful park surrounded on three side by the Chesapeake Bay.

Lighthouse Benny



Benny and I went hiking at a park on the Chesapeake today.
 I thought it might be fun start up the guessing part of this blog again.
Soooo where is he?  I'll announce the winner and location in the next post.

Benny and the Apple Blossoms

The blossoms survived freezing temperatures last night, hopefully they'll survive tonight too.
I'm not sure what he's looking at, but I think a squirrel would be a good guess.

A Beautiful Late Winter Day

St. Patrick's day weekend.  Benny still loves to swim and fetch.  He could do this all day.  The water is still very cold; better him than me.

Sloppy Who?

Waiting for Sloppy before the afternoon crowds arrive. This is the last post from Key West, which Benny will probably always think of as Cat Island. We're back at the Flight Park now.

Waiting Patiently

Benny is waiting for "Gigi" the toy poodle he met last night to arrive for thier breakfast date. Alas she never showed. I plan to take him for a bicycle ride around the island and a swim to try and get his mind off the heartbreak. OK I made up the part about "Gigi" but the rest is true. By the way, this is a great place for breakfast.

Big Wave

Well, it's a big wave to him. If you look real close you can see the little stick he's waiting for the wave to bring to him. Waves were new to him but it only took one dunking for him to figure them out.

Higgs Beach, Key West, Fl. taken yesterday.
Benny enjoys the sunrises and just sits by my feet till I'm done taking pictures.
A little cool and windy yesterday; like a warm Spring day back home.

Too many chickens!

Benny and I had breakfast at the Blue Heavan yesterday. One of the few restaurants that still allows dogs. See if you can find the two roosters in the picture. An expenseive non-paid trip to Key West if you win.

He made it

Benny made it to the southernmost point in the USA, Key West,Fl.. Lots of cats and roosters down here. Scared of the former, ignores the latter.

We camped at Lazy Lakes campground last night. Only 19.5 miles to Key West. Lazy Lakes was a coral quarry before it was a campground.

Lonely dog in street

Rush hour this morning in downtown Clermont,Fl. There is some traffic every couple of minutes but you can hear and see it long before it's a problem. Benny was never in any danger. No one was even around to yell at me for taking pictures in the middle of the street.

Benny and I left just before the Super bowl started. I drove most of the way. We arrived at Questair about noon today. I caught up with some of my pilot friends and Benny explored all his old haunts. Sue, the cat, is still here. I haven't lost hope that someday they will be friends and explore this 50 acre flight park together.

The Saturday snow was pretty much gone. We had a good time even though it was wet and muddy in spots.

I've restarted the blog. I finally figured out how to update the blog using my ipad instead of my laptop.
The picture is from one of Benny's favorite places. He was at my feet when I took the picture.
