We spent 4 hours freezing in the cold outside for another dog adoption volunteer event. I shouldn’t say we. I wimped out after 2 hours and went into the PetSmart to warm up, hold the puppies, and pet the kitties. I was cold to the bones! Even many of the dogs were dragging their butts on the ground when their handlers wanted to take them back outside after a few minutes break in the store. The dog I got, Jumper, had an interested adopter in less than a couple of minutes. I think the family had read her profile and came specifically looking for her. I saw later on the adoptors’ sign up sheet that 2 families were interested in Jumper. So for the rest of the day I wandered around petting other peoples’ dogs and played with the other dog we walked, Bilbo.

Bilbo is probably a 2 or 3 year old dog. He’s a lab mix rescued from Puerto Rico. I think he likes women or he likes jumping on them. Maybe it’s a machismo thing. Anyway, he’s 52 lbs and a good dog. Quiet as can be. A little shy at first but loves the company of other dogs. He was making friends there and being such a sweetie.
In the end, 8 dogs were adopted. Bilbo is still available though!
After that, we went to Coastal Flats for an early dinner. It’s a Great American Restaurant, so consistent with their line of restaurants, the menu was simple and the food was good.

This crab imperial dip disappeared so fast!

We also ordered the lobster roll with acorn squash and sweet potato fries. I’ve never had a lobster roll before so it surprised me that the filling was cold. It makes sense though, I mean all that mayo. The acorn squash was delicious, topped with cinnamon, brown sugar, butter, and candied walnuts.

And the pecan encrusted trout with couscous. I liked the pecans.
