Beach Day!

Saturday was a BEAUTIFUL day and we could not keep ourselves from spending at least part of it outside! It was the first time that Dad and I brought our dogs to the beach, so it was a learning experience. Harley loved lounging in the sand, but was skittish around the waves and water. As a matter of fact, she tried to get as far from the water as possible! It was funny, but I was a bit disappointed because I had images of my silly dog splashing around in the waves. Oh well.


Joy relished baking in the sun (I managed to get burned even with SPF 50 sunscreen and sitting under an umbrella) and playing with the puppies. Harley is willing to get as much attention as possible.

Roscoe, on the other hand, LOVED the water! He splashed around, swam and tried to chase the shells and rocks rolling in the tide. Roscoe also wore himself ragged chasing after the shadows of sea gulls and airplanes. It was adorable!

Skye, your dog is pretty cute, but YOUR DAD's DOG! Freakin' adorable! I'm not a big dog lover, but occasionally I just can't help myself. Very cute.

It's that spaniel thing. We used to buy our oldest spaniel her own kiddie pool every summer, and she spent about half the day lying in the water.

There is a kiddie pool at the dog park. Harley runs around chasing the other dogs, but comes to a screeching halt and turns on a dime if she gets within 4 feet of the pool.
