CHRISTMAS SPIRIT®'S SAMANTHA

Samantha enjoys the summertime, too. She likes to spend her time outside swimming, especially if someone will throw a Frisbee® to her. When we rescued Samantha, as a young dog, she hadn’t seen much of the world. We had to introduce her to swimming, because she wasn’t sure what to do in the water. A toss of the Frisbee® solved that problem. In fact, she swam so much, she sprained her tail and had to stay out of the water until it mended. Click the photo for more info.

Samantha swimming with her Frisbee® These days, she still enjoys swimming, but it is also therapeutic. Her “doctor” indicated it was good exercise for the arthritis in her spine. Going up and down stairs is not good exercise, but nobody told her that!

ISLAND UPDATE
July is the start of a busy summer season here in Bar Harbor, Maine. One of the best things about small town life in the summer is the 4th of July celebration. In Bar Harbor, we start things off early with a blueberry pancake breakfast at the town’s baseball field. Later in the morning, both residents and visitors line the streets for the annual parade, which winds its way downtown, delighting young and old. One of the crowd favorites is the Anah Temple Shriners zipping along the parade route in their go-kart race cars, racing on tracks up and over another go-kart. If you happen to be in the front of the crowd, they might even lean over and give you a high-five as they zoom along!	Crowd getting ready to watch the fire works          Photo by Beverly Bono
Boats in the water                                                   Photo by Beverly Bono	After the parade, you can enjoy a seafood festival with lobsters, clams, mussels and corn on the cob. The town is filled with music as bands play in different locations throughout the day. As the sun goes down, it’s time to head to the waterfront to find a spot to watch the magnificent display of fireworks over Frenchman’s Bay. The boats are all in the water now, ready to take visitors exploring. You can help sail the schooner Margaret Todd, take a cruise on a lobster boat, go out on the whale watch boats, and take guided kayak tours around Frenchman’s Bay. It’s a great way to spend a sunny summer day in Bar Harbor.
