Plan B (9/13/2023)

We have had a fairly tame, close-to-the-condo few days, as Rafa has been having some stomach troubles that has had us (mostly Bob) getting up in the middle of the night for some potty runs (literally). He’s been otherwise fine in terms of energy, interest in food, etc., but we did get him into the vet the other day to ensure nothing serious was going on. As we suspected, the avid scrounger has likely eaten something that is disagreeing with him, so we are giving him prescribed probiotics as well as a deworming pill. We have kept up with walks but closer to home.

Today, we stumbled on a new trail near the Flight Path around the airport. The short trail runs along Patricia Bay, and it allowed us a closer view of the bay than we’ve had before.

Mid afternoon we headed out to do a bit of sight seeing. We started by checking out the inside of the airport that we’ve been walking around.

We then drove to the small community of Brentwood to check out the ferry and the Brentwood Bay Resort.
