It's been a wonderful day! We backtracked from Biloxi to Pass Christian and then back again and to Ocean Springs. All these towns are pet friendly, and Luci is a perfect traveler. Whoever taught her to walk on a leash so well (whoever had her before me) did a great job. She was warmly welcomed in the few stores we went into and Maison de Lu (house of Lucy, really!) where I had soup and luscious lemon pie with raspberry sauce on top.
Then tonight she was welcomed into The Shrimp Basket here in Evergreen, delicious dinner of shrimp and catfish and slaw with steamed shrimp. When I walked in, the hostess said, "She's a service dog, right? Say yes."
Early this morning, we walked for an hour on the Biloxi beach, then spent another hour at the Bark Park where Luci got to romp with a dog named Max. His owner was a young man, about forty, who's already had two heart attacks. "I'm also bipolar," he said. "And so is Max. It's good for us both to hang out with you two, helping us learn to socialize."
There's a wonderful bakery/book store overlooking the beach in Pass Christian.
For the hour it took us to drive to Ocean Springs, I listened to a delightful program on Mississippi Public Broadcasting by a man who calls himself The Gestalt Gardener.
