Over the last 35 years, Skip and I have followed our dream of having places we call home across the country.  We lived that dream for 20 years and have recently worked to simplify our lives and truly ground ourselves on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  With Pete in our family, we have sought places to go that welcome canines so that we can all travel together. We found Dewey Beach a couple of years ago and have enjoyed long weekends there a couple of times a year.  Each time, we stop at the Town Office and purchase a weekend license for Pete so he can run and frolic on the beach.  Dewey prides itself on being dog friendly, and off-season dogs with licenses are welcome on the beach at all times of the day and evening.  This Spring on our weekend in March, we took the plunge. Instead of purchasing a weekend license for Pete, we purchased a “forever” license. Pete is now officially a resident of Dewey Beach, and we are the interlopers who bring him to this second home.  Here is Pete with his license and me with my Dewey Beach hoodie, back home in Oxford and looking forward to our next visit to Dewey Beach.
