The misskitty abode is located about 45 mins drive from the nearest beach and given the unseasonally cool summer we have had in Melbourne this year plus the fact that local councils only allow dogs on certain beaches at off-peak times (ie. before 9am in the mornings and after 7:30pm in the evenings) a trip to the beach is only possible when all the the above plus other uncontrollable external variables (namely - my levels of tiredness and hunger) all align favourably.
harry puppy loves travelling the car (I must do a post on this at some stage) and is always excited at the prospect of going somewhere new. The beach was no exception. This is actually his 2nd beach visit - I forgot my camera last time.
Unfortunately he's not particularly keen on swimming although if there are other dogs in the water he will reluctantly wade in and then dog paddle out to ensure he isn't missing out on anything. harry puppy is far more interested in chewing seaweed, jellyfish and other miscellaneous slimey objects which have washed up on the shore (ick!) and of course digging.
Sorry about the blurry photos - its definately tricker than you may imagine trying to juggle a wriggly harry puppy with taking cute photos and avoiding dropping everything into the ocean!
Baaahaahahaa I have a King Cav X Pug, I take her to the permanent off lead areas at the beach.
ReplyDeleteBRILLIANT.
She LOVES to run around and chase the seagulls but is SO scared of the water, we have to carry her into it and then she just swims right back to the shore again.
So, so funny.
Google: Off Lead Areas Melbourne
and you will get a list of everywhere that is off lead and the times.
Your dog is gorgeous.

Hello
ReplyDeleteThank you for the message of support following the awful incident I had in a store yesterday. The kind words from friends and strangers was amazing.
The woman who feared that whatever was on my face would ruin her clothes was small minded, discriminatory and rude. But she has also managed to remind me that there are so many people in this world that are compassionate and open minded, and in support of the challenges I have with my chronic illness.
I hope that my blog, and your support, can make people think twice about the prejudices they may have towards people with chronic illnesses and disabilities, and also make them think twice about opening their mouth and saying something hurtful.
I feel pretty crappy today, it's hard to be resilient all the time, but I know that I will feel better soon.
Thank you again, you really brightened my day.
Carly
