Ahoy, Charlie and cyber paw friends aboard the Hi-Jinx. Arrrg it is Essex, Aka Black Dog the Pirate with my First Nephew Deacon welcoming you to Key West or Cayo Hueso as the Spanish called it. Cayo Hueso means "Bone Key," which is perfect for any dog or cat. So sit down, have a bone to chew on. We have some water for the dogs and some milk for the cats or you can have some pirate-dog grog.
We hope you are enjoying your cruise around the Gulf of Mexico and the Colliebbean Sea. During the early 1800's Key West was known as the Gibraltar of the West due to its strategic position in the Florida Straights.
There are many dog friendly bars and places. As for you cats make sure to check out the polydactyl cats at the Hemingway House. They are a sight to see.

Thank you for the lovely welcome. The milk is most appreciated. ~Scylla & Charybdis
My brother Whiskers was a Hemingway cat. Me and Mommy still miss him a lot. This pirate grog is good stuff, I'll have another, if you don't mind. ~Socks
Wow, Black Dog, this grog is sure good. No, no more. I just wanted a taste so I can say I've had some pirate grog in the Colliebbean. But I will have some milk to wash it down, thanks.
It's been a blast traveling on the HiJinx and making new friends.

PS - Love that pirate hat!
Emil was so happy to meet cats that have bigger paws than his! He has these HUGE toes and we tease him sometimes, hahahahahahaha!
As you can see - we slept over - I didn't think it would be safe to cruise with all the pirate dog grogs I had... hahahahahahahahahahaha
Thank you for the great party - and mark you calendar for May 30: Ruis and my big wedding party!!!!
Karl
That cat with the big feet is awesome!
Ahoy you two! Any friend of Charlie's is a friend of mine. We have been boating around on the Hijinx and visiting so many nice furries. Was nice meeting you. You are really great!
I can't wait for your next post.. you 's are having soo much fun.
lots of licks
xox
Hic! what a party! I was having such a hard time counting the toes on those cats - I can only count up to three, and the confusion was getting to me - I think I had too much grog!
Thanks for the wonderful time, Black Dog and Deacon, and everyone!
licks
