I am a beach dog!

Mom wanted to pick up some driftwood after the nor'easter, so we took a little trip to Sandbridge Beach. We went to Little Island Park, which is almost in North Carolina. I love this park because there is usually no one around and I get to run off leash! There was a lot of trash on the beach and a bunch of decaying stuff, so I had tons of new smells to investigate. There were a few live conchs washed up and I really wanted to roll on them, but Dad threw them back in the ocean. I would rather play on the beach than anywhere else, so I guess that makes me a beach dog!

The Nor'Easter

We had a nor'easter blow in last week. This is kind of like a hurricane, but the winds are not as strong. But, it was strong enough to knock out power for two days, bring down our new pergola, flood the golf course, and wash a huge barge up on our local beach. I pretty much napped through the storm and the aftermath. But, the folks let me out on the golf course to run during a lull in the storm. I love that!!! I am shedding my fur and I look pretty ratty, but it was great to be outside!

What's up?

Well, Mom must have gotten an energy spurt or something. She took me for a long walk, by myself, without Dad! What's up with that? We walked for 35 minutes in the neighborhood, adjacent to the golf course. It was kind of cool and misty, which made me frisky, naturally. She let me off leash for a short while, and I ran on the golf course!!! I love the open spaces!! There were some huge Canada Geese out there....I swear they think they must own the place! But, I showed them!!

Back home

We are back home in Virginia after an awesome week at the beach in South Carolina! Even though the weather was not all that, I had so much fun with the humans and my old friend Sasha and my new friend, Barney. But, there is no place like home!
Mom has been walking me a bit more as Dad is having some problems with his knees and hips (I certainly know about THAT!). She does a longer walk, which I am really enjoying, now that the weather is cooler. We did go to the beach here this week and I got to swim!! The water was very smooth and Mom threw the old tennis ball in for me to retrieve. I just LOVE THAT!!

Beaching it!

I am loving my vacation at Pawleys Island. The weather has been kind of iffy, but I have been to the beach every day. I love the beach. A little rain does not bother me because I get wet anyway. I love sniffing the salt air....so many different and exciting smells there. So awesome. A wet Lab is a happy Lab!
