Daisy and I went to check out out “local” dog beach. I put that in quotes cause it is just over an hour to get there. We have so many beaches close to us but none will allow dogs.
It is actually a really nice beach. Not actually on the beach, but on the inter-coastal waterway. Since it was so far, I wanted to make a day of it-which meant packing a lunch for Daisy and myself, a sun shade (I burn even with sunscreen), and some beach towels. Well, it turns out you have to walk a ways from the parking lot, through the dunes, and over a boardwalk to get to the beach. Daisy and I just went walking when we first got there. Then I decided to go tot he closest beach access. Well, someone wasn’t following the leash rule and about the time we go their the dog attacked a very young puppy (like 8 weeks). We high tailed it to a different section. I don’t want any trouble.
We were both really hot by the time we made it to the beach. I set up the sun shade and forced Daisy into the water to cool off. Daisy isn’t scared of water, but she prefers to not come in contact with it. You can see it in the video-wagging tail but definite refusal.
We laid around a few hours, watched the boats, and she took a nice nap or two. We also ate lunch. I set up half the sun shade (which is half of a two man tent) for her, but she mostly wanted to take her half in the middle. And, she kept wanting to put her butt where I wanted to put my head! Silly girl.
I will be going back again. I want to take Bella. She loves the water and the beach is really quiet. I might try for one evening so we can just go, walk around, then come home. I don’t think she would agree with the use of an umbrella or a sunshade. They make noise in the wind.
Yum! Frozen kongs on the beach.
Napping next to me
I want my half in the back!
