"Come closer, little doggie."

Hungry!

Freddy, the wiener dog, loves adventures especially if that includes dining out.  Today we went to the Gator Riverside Grille.  Their seating is outside, situated on the St. Johns River.  It's a pretty spot and a short drive from the house.  We picked up Nana along the way and met Jeff and Big Steve, who motored up to the dock.  Overall, Freddy was well-mannered (Daisy didn't get to come along) and went from person to person at our table quietly begging for food [mostly Mommy and Daddy] - He used his "leaking air" begging noise.  His favorite was the chicken.  We had a visitor who wanted a better view of our table and the little morsel-on-a-leash we brought along.  "Come closer, little doggie."  I'm just glad the water level was low so the restaurant's deck was high above the water. Mommy was freaked the entire time and kept checking to see if the gator had moved. She wanted to know where it was at all times.
