Dog Beach

How wonderful that we live in a place so sophisticated that not only do we have fabulous parks for our children, but also for our dogs. Yes, we have been to the dog park, which is a favorite place of our boy Baxter. It is a social time for our pet to get out and meet other dogs and we in turn get to talk to others who are as crazy about dogs as we are.

Monday was the day we finally decided it was time to step up to "Dog Beach". Dog beach conjures up visions of dogs frolicking in the surf and that is exactly what happens. We encountered dogs of every breed, shape, size and color. Some had Frisbees, others had balls, but all of them were joyfully enjoying their beach day. All of them that is except ours! Baxter did not like the water at all and when I tried to get him to come in with me he reacted like I was taking him to a watery grave. In fact, he extended his nails and attempted to climb my leg. Such a fun idea with such a sad ending...!
