Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora hope not. Kristen and Wayne paid the crew a visit last weekend.Of course, Mom and Dad loved spending time with them but really it was all about spoiling the kids.And they did a terrific job! We all miss you guys and hope to see…

Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora often watch out the window to keep tabs on the happenings on the dock. Today Dora took it a step further by climbing up on the back of the settee.

Dora just wanted to get a better look. She really doesn’t understand why Mom doesn’t want her there…

Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora had a friend come calling this week.Dylan and Dee Dee immediately recognized their buddy. After all, Dylan was once known as the manatee whisperer.Dora quickly followed their lead and said hello, too.

The best part of getting the dinghy ready for the Bahamas is Dad putting it in the water and taking the kids on a toot!

This morning’s headline:  “75% of the US population will suffer below-freezing temps this week”

The Red Head crew wants you to know it’s been freezing here as well, by Key West standards anyway. Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora woke to 56 degrees this morning. Not too bad for the two Maine born, thick-furred Labs but pretty darn cold for a thin-furred Coonhound from Florida. 

Hoping everyone is staying safe and warm. 

It’s been nearly a month since the Red Head crew has had a blog entry. It hasn’t been laziness – this hardworking crew is always busy. Just checkout this schedule:

6:30 am: Wake Mom and Dad so they can feed us.
Rest of morning: Chew toys, fight with siblings, and ensure we are not attacked by pirates.
Lunch: Beg for food from dad’s plate.
Early afternoon: Rest up from frantic morning.
3:00 pm: Go to dog park.
4:30: Kid’s dinner.
Evening: Hope for more food from dad’s dinner and wait for final bedtime treat.
Repeat.

The problem has been Mom. She’s really been loafing on the job. Before New Years she flew off for five days to help celebrate Grandma’s 90th birthday at a big bash. That’s only about 13 in dog years, not really all that impressive. The kids had to count on Dad to take care of them – it was a little scary but they made it.

Then Cousin Leslie and her husband, Chris, came to spend a few days with the crew after their camping trip to a Dry Tortugas. Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora want to point out that they were perfectly behaved at all times.

Well, mostly…

After a few days sick in bed with a cold, Mom is finally back with the program. The crew has even seen her placing some pretty big orders on Chewy. Bahamas here we come!

Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora hope you are having a great 2019!

The Red Head crew has finally recovered from the first Christmas with the newest crew member. Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora awoke to find Santa had left three packages under the tree. Mom was sure Santa had gotten his naughty and nice lists mixed up but the…

What could be harder than 3 dogs in a dinghy? 3 dogs who have been on the boat for ten straight days in a dinghy…After ten days of moving and hanging at anchor in windy weather, Wednesday afternoon the winds settled and the crew took a dinghy ride in…

Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora had their last run to the dog park this morning as Mom is returning the car early tomorrow. While we were there, a women came running down the path with a black and white dog alongside. The dog spotted the crew and ran to the f…
