Yesterday we went to Birch Point Beach with our best bud, Kia. She lives next door to us right now, but her real home is in St Augustine and that's where she was born. Kia is a true beach bum and sailor, having spent lots of time on boats and catching fish in the Islands. It's easy to understand why she out swam us every time we chased the stick into the ocean. And I only got mad once. We had a bit of a tiff then, but it didn't last. Lucky really likes Kia even though he barks at her whenever she comes to our door. I don't know why he barks so much…is it his hormones?
