Furry Friend... Daisy






Meet Daisy.  She is a lovable yellow lab who lives in Istanbul, Turkey.  Okay... I realize that she doesn't drop by to visit in Beaufort, but I know she would love it here, because Daisy doesn't know how to have a bad day.

She loves to swim in the Marmara Sea, roll in the grass, and cuddle with the cats.  She is just an all around sweetie and this face says it all.
