Ocean Beach Dog Beach

Dog beach! I've come to discover that the beach is one of my most favoritest things. The sun, the sand, the surf...I am truly a California dog. Look how beautiful I look, even covered in salt water & sand!

Tonight Mom took me to a place called Dog Beach in Ocean Beach. Right away we ran into the 2 big white Great Danes I first met at the Adams Ave street fair (when I was just a wee little 11 week old pup). Titan and Ari are their names (I sure hope I spelled 'em right!). I loved loved loved Ari! She was beautiful! And so graceful...I just had to run around and try to impress her. Check out how I'm almost flying here!

After we played for a bit, Mom took me off on my own while Ari's mom talked with some other folks. We found this tennis ball and I discovered how much fun it is to chase a ball in the water! So many new things to discover!!

I also discovered how much fun it is to steal other dog's balls! Its great fun when they chase you (and I know they love it too...even though a few of them growled at me when I stole their ball).

I wasnt hardly at all scared of the water, although I didnt go in past my elbows. Good thing too cuz Mom said the tide was coming in and she warned me that she wasnt jumping in after me if I got in "too deep" and got swept away by the current. She should speak...at one point she was too busy paying attention to me and the tide snuck up behind her and got her pants wet all the way up to her calves!! hee hee, it was hard not to laugh!

Another of my favoritest things to do was DIG! I'm not exactly sure what I am going to find...but I just KNOW its gotta be something good. Plus, that sand sure feels good on my feet.

After the beach, I was quite a mess so Mom took me down to Dog Beach Dog Wash and I got a make-over. Basically just a stupid bath, but there were some yummy treats at the counter that I talked Mom into getting before we left.

I had so much fun, but boy was I was pooped! I slept all the way home, and then after dinner I decided I needed a comfortable spot to take a nap. Especially since I was all clean...I mean really, who wants a clean dog to sleep on a dirty dog bed? I figured the couch wasnt taken, so I just made myself comfortable. Unfortunately, while Mom thought it was cute it didnt last very long. The meanie says I am not allowed on the couch. Oh well, her bed is just as comfy!

BTW...in case you hadnt noticed, Im taking over the blog. Mom's blog entries are fine and all, but sheesh...it is MY blog afterall!
