Now I have to admit, the sand and the water were a pain. I got thirsty and tried to drink the water but OMG, I wanted to spit it right back out! It was salty and horrible. Thankfully mom brought me some real water! She brought me a blanket so I could lay down without being in the sand, but I was more interested in the shady areas beside Dad and behind mom. I had so much fun meeting these new dogs. I think if people got along as well as dogs do, there would be more peace in the world. That's my political stand, and I'm sticking with it.
I was very surprised to see how laid back and playful all the dogs were. Big ones were playing with little ones and some were just plowing into the water to fetch a tennis ball. Most dogs didn't have leashes but my parents consider mine a hearing aid. I simply don't hear them off leash, and I have no intention of learning that little trick. Once in awhile I manage to sneak out and I am off like a shot.
When we left the beach Mom rinsed my toes with water. I am a nail-biter and she saved me from eating a lot of sand.
I had fun, but it looked like the dogs off leash were the ones who were having the most fun. Maybe they should fence it in for hearing-impaired dogs like me...
I am loving being a snowbird-dog!
