This Thanksgiving my husband and I had the opportunity to visit the Outer Banks and stay in the small town of Southern Shores. We had the opportunity to stay for the week as a guest of the owner to renovate the master bathroom in their ocean side cottage.  The project went smoothly and Thanksgiving at the ocean was a blessing. However, the gem of the week was introducing our two puppies to the ocean side! The weather was gloomy, but the adventure was fun none the less. I think that the dogs favorite part was being up on the dock and smelling the fresh ocean breeze.
