Bermuda! - Update 6/10/2014

For three years we have dreamed of getting Forrest back in the water with dolphins.   This week, that dream will become reality.  To celebrate his graduation and other accomplishments, Forrest and team have journeyed to Bermuda to enjoy a week of sun, sand and dolphin time!  Yesterday we went to the most gorgeous beaches. Tom, Austin and Forrest enjoyed some frisbee and Toliver, the only dog allowed in the nature preserve or on the beach, splashed and ran with Austin in the waves.   Forrest walked further than he has since his accident! At one point he and Toliver headed off alone to the opposite end of the beach where it ended in a staggeringly beautiful cliff.  So many months we dreamed of this day.  As we watched, suddenly at the same time we all thought, knowing Forrest, OH NO, Is he going to try to climb the  cliff ??? But as he neared the end of the beach, he slowly reached out his hand touched the cliff wall and turned back with Toliver at his side, and slowly but steadily started making his way back to us.  

Thank you all for helping make this week possible and for your belief and support in Forrest.
