South Cape Beach and a Special, Fuzzy Friend!

Recently we had the opportunity to spend the day with Russell's old dog, Shadow!  I'm not going to go into the circumstances and story of why we didn't have Shadow, and it doesn't matter now cause we will be able to see her more often.  She's about 14 or 15 now and just a sweetheart.  

We met to pick her up at 8:30 and had her till 3.  Russell was sooo happy to see her! It had been over 7 years.

We took her first to South Cape Beach in Mashpee for a little walk.  Russell took her to the marshes side and I was back and forth taking pics of the beach and them. 

There were a couple of backhoes moving sand around so access to the beach that day was prohibited. Which was fine cause the wind was very cold and I could tell there was no beach glass anyway.  South Cape Beach is in Mashpee, where Vineyard Sound meets Nantucket Sound.











I was fascinated by the rippling water in this giant puddle from the rain the night before.



We took her back to our house and introduced Sagan to her.  

Goodest boi!  He was totally fine and for the most part, they ignored each other all day unless he got to close to her and she'd growl.

It's not clear if she remembered him but she chose to lay right here in front of our chairs.  Her owner gave us a backpack of her stuff so I put out her blankie and toy.  She made herself right at home and mostly snoozed.


She helped herself to the water dish and she scarfed down her lunch and some treats.

Seeing him so happy being reunited with her was sooooo awesome!!!!  

So soft and sweet!

Here she is in my car trying to be coaxed out to go home.  hahaha
Can't wait to see her again!
