If you were to ask me what I love most about Sarasota, I would probably have to say our beaches. They are beautiful – Siesta Key, in particular, is consistently ranked among the top ten beaches in the world! Yes, a world class beach, practically in my backyard…and yet, until this past weekend, I hadn’t been out there in ages!

Thankfully Baxter came to my rescue and provided a great excuse to go play on the beach. A beautiful beach *and* an adorable puppy – it doesn’t get much better! Baxter is 8 month old Bichon Frise and he’s just an all-around delightful pup. I think his mom was a little worried about how he would do, but he was a star! I love how his white coat is almost a perfect match for the powdery, white sand. Thank you Baxter and family for a lovely time – here are just a few of my favorites…
