Alvin's first and only day at the ocean.
This is Alvin seeing the ocean for the first time.
He was fascinated, but not so much so that he wanted to investigate. His hair was still dark, and he was the trimmest he ever was. It was before he ever had his first seizure...which happened in the beach front condo that we lived in when we first moved to Florida. This picture is from about two years ago, but suddenly it seems like it might as well be a million. Those days are over.
We never went back to that beach. It was a long hot walk up and down a lot of stairs...a bit much for my little poodle. I don't remember much about that day except sharing the smell and the sound of something so wonderful for the first time with my pal. I know we were both very content and I am so happy to have this picture. Love is love. It hurts when we lose it, we miss it, and eventually, we are thankful we had it at all. I am thankful for this beach day.
