TchoukaLove: June 2013

Here he is:

This is Wishbone on our first day. The pet rescue place we adopted him from has named him wishbone and since I am such a fan of his work we decided to keep it. We took him on a walk to a local restaurant, where they allow dogs to sit by the fence. He was very friendly to pedestrians and enjoyed the constant attention.
We've had him two weeks now and I think we are going to keep him:) This is what we know about him so far:

He's a year-old, Jack-Russell-Terrier mix.
He gets car sick and has thrown up every time he's in the car with the exception of when we brought him home.
He loves to cuddle (see pic with Svet below).
He's not very good at walking on a leash, but we are working on that.
He is really sweet and seems to like everyone... so far.
The only time he's peed in the house is when he got overly excited.

This post is long overdue. Svet and I visited the historic, very Southern city of Savannah a few weeks ago. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect other than spanish-moss-covered trees, old buildings and women in in big hats with parasols. We did see a lot of spanish moss and old buildings but the women with big hats and parasols have apparently been replaced with SCAD (savannah college of art and design) students looking very edgy and grim. We stayed at a lovely B&B where we were well fed even if we had to make small talk with the owner who often made politically tinted comments I did not agree with.

Our itinerary consisted of a beach day at Tybee Island, a jaunt through Bonaventure cemetery (made famous by Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) , people watching in the public squares and a lot of walking around the city. There is a lot of southern food to be had in Savannah and by the time we left I was ready for a new genre. Here are some pics from our adventure.

On the way down we stopped to eat at the Whistlestop cafe in Juliette, where they filmed Fried Green Tomatos. Please excuse Svet's awkward hand placement:)
