Shhh. Don’t tell my cats but I’m really a dog person at heart. Stopped in Sarasota this afternoon on my way to Florida’s Space Coast for the NASA Tweetup and a friend introduced me to Southeastern Guide Dog, Inc. They offer puppy hugging on Saturdays but I was in luck today. This sweet little guy, an 11-month-old black lab was in the house and ready for loving. Say hello to JP. Can you think of anything sweeter than a sleeping puppy?

Weeki Wachee Springs offers the Sirens of the Deep Mermaid Camps several times a year. I grabbed a spot, put on a tail, and learned mermaiding is hard work!
