The water can change you

Posted on by Standard 1

I spent a lot of time on the beach last week with Ohiophotogrl! We spent a lot of time walking and taking photos. After a few days of enjoying the beachs of Sanibel we went over to Fort Meyers. We went out on the beach there and I started to not feel so well. I walked over to a bench and sat down for a few minutes while Ohiophotogrl went to get me some water. When she came back she had a strange look on her face. It appears I had been bitten by something and started to change…


She rushed me inside so I could look in the mirror


OMG I was turning into a crab. The waitress at the place we stopped for lunch pointed out a sign that we hadn’t seen in the Island anywhere else….


She assured Ohiophotogrl that this happens to potatos in these parts. She said all we had to do was put me back into the water and I’d be fine. This didn’t stop Ohiophotogrl from taking a few more photos though.


As we walked along we found a Restraunt called Pinchers. So I had another photo taken.


Good news is I should be back to normal tomorrow. Which leads me to my next question….wonder what we’re gonna do tomorrow?

Ding Darling

One of the many stops in this trip was to Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The J. N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge is part of the United States National Wildlife Refuge System, located in southwestern Florida, on Sanibel Island in the Gulf of Mexico. It is named for the cartoonist Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling.


There is a museum when you first get there that has lots of cool things inside. (It’s also air conditioned in there :0) 


You can touch bones and skins of animals to see what they feel like. You can watch videos on different things that you can see in the refuge and most of all they have this really cool area where you can make something to take home.


Here is an example


We even met some fun people along the way. This is my new friend Monica!


What a fun place to take anyone that likes nature. We really enjoyed this place. After the museum you can drive your car, walk or take a team thru the refuge. There is a very small fee to do this and the wild life you see there is amazing! One other cool thing is check the coupon books that you pick up around the island. There was a coupon for a free reusable water bottle. They have filtered water stations through Sanibel Island. So having someplace to put water in was an added bonus! It’s hot in Florida and staying hydrated is mandatory!

We are having so much Fun! Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

We ate at the Over Easy Cafe and let me tell you it was goooooooooood! Ohiophotogrl and I had some chicken strips and fries with an ice cold coke to drink. Good times! While Ohiophotogrl was out Kayaking today I hung out on the beach.


The water is much warmer than I would have thought! No worries though I put on my waterproof sunscreen!

Wounded what we’re gonna do next?

So Ohiophotogrl told me to pack a bag and be ready in 10 minutes. So I grabbed my bag and asked her what I should pack. She suggested sunscreen and swim trunks.


I thru my stuff in her bag and we pulled out of the drive way about 5 minites ago.

Wonder where we are going? Stay Tuned

I got so busy that I didn’t have time to post while I was away. This Scotty people are so much fun!


Here I am helping ohiophotogrl with her game. She ran a poker run while the show was going on and we raised $134 for rescue! What a fun group we had. 60 people turned in a hand. We gave away a deck of Scotty Dog cards and wooden nickels 


We sure had a lot of fun! What do you do with your friends?

Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

Every year about this time Ohiophotogrl and her friend ScottieScouts go to a convention in Cincinnati, Ohio. This year is like their 34th convention. It’s a Scotty Dog show! Lots of collectables and lots of real dogs too. I can’t wait to share it with you. We got here a few days early to help set things up.

We even got to look for stuff when we got here…


There is Scotty stuff everywhere!

Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

I get to go

I have spent the last day trying to talk Ohiophotogrl into telling me where she is going and if I get to go too. I have finally been told I get to go but she won’t tell me where. That’s ok I love an adventure.


I have found my suitcase! But what should I take I mean I have no idea where we are going. She says to bring lots of different things.


I’m just not sure I have enough stuff to wear. Guess I’ll find out when we get there or Ohiophotogrl repacks for me :0)

She did tell me that we weren’t going to far and I would get to see several of our good friends and meet some new ones. I’m packed and ready and still waiting on her.

Wonder what we’re gonna do next?
