It was a gorgeous, sunny day, so my husband and I headed to Savannah’s Historic District for a great brunch at J. Christopher’s on Liberty Street. Our Doberman, Achilles accompanied us, so we chose an outdoor table. We ordered shrimp and grits and the Goldie-Lox dish (lox and bagles with capers. yum!). Achilles was served a bowl of ice water and the Puppy Chow dish, which had all kinds of breakfast foods, including eggs and maybe sausage - needless to say, our dog was a happy boy.
After our fantastic brunch, we headed to Forsyth Park to get some exercise and give Achilles a little running time. Here is some video footage of the park and of Achilles playing fetch:

A 9-foot-long, 300 pound alligator was captured on Tybee’s North Beach Monday. Jack Douglas, known as "Trapper Jack" caught the gator and will kill it, then sell its meat and hide. Gators smaller than 5 feet are released back into the wild, but this old guy didn’t make the cut. It may be just as well, as it was unusually bold, lurking in the water of a popular swimming area. Douglas has trapped around 5,000 gators in the Savannah area since 1989 and only two of those were found on the beach.
