Tomorrow Plan To Take Dogs To Beach

[Marie Mallory]

It will be in high 70s and first time we take the two new dogs to beach.
They both love the water so will play it by ear weather they jump in or not later in afternoon.
I haven't mentioned it to Jake yet, but we do have all day to get ready for beach trip tomorrow.

After further research, it ain't gonna happen!
They used to keep the beaches drivable at least most of the time. Not anymore as evidenced by video.
I'm not walking with 4 large dogs to the beach from parking lot, when we took 8 of the oldest grandkids a couple decades ago you could drive without much problem long as you paid attention.
I even drove my Skoolie on it just fine.
Jake just said, ' we can go to the river!! I don't want to hear the word 'river' a beach trip would happen before that.
Not to speak of walking river bank with 4 large dogs on leashes.

 

[Marie Mallory]

Boy was this a good example of a bad idea! Thank goodness it didn't happen.
I can just see us being dragged to the water with these two large hypo energetic dogs.
I need to see how they walk on a lease. River trip I wasn't walking more of a crawl. They did great.
But they do love water, so beach would be more tempting.
Still may try it in a few days just to get out of here for a while. Next few days, we are suppose to have record breaking heat for February.

Marie, you probably should postpone a beach trip with the dogs until your muscle pulls are healed. Maybe just you and Jake go for a couple of hours to relax!

 

[April Vee]

Yes please be careful honey,we dont want you getting hurt!!

Beth I think your right about that.Just a couple slow motion walks on trail this week put me back in pain.
So much for 'healthy' exercises, anyone even mention new healthy exercise will be politely ignored.

@Marie Mallory -- I wonder if some easy stretches might help your pain? Have you tried putting heat on the area or maybe soaking in a hot bath with epsom salts?

 

[Ken Anderson]

My cats have never asked for a beach trip.

Beth I'm always stretching them and the lower back. I did use heat last week, it seemed to help so when I can sit for a while I will use it again.
Seems that time is the only cure, if then.

I hope the beach trip turns out better than the river trip did.

Don, it already has, when we realized what a bad idea it was and decided not to do it.

 

[Jake Smith]

Bathed these two today, "Getty" and "Foxy" , cleaned ears and tried to do claws. will do Maisie and Leo tomorrow.

@Marie Mallory , what are the rules for taking your dogs on Augustine beach? Are you allowed to unleash them once they're at the water?

I've been wanting to take mine, but have never had the chance. Goober has only ever been to ponds and small streams / creeks. Sam's never seen 'big' water at all.

BTW, we are apparently neighbors of a sort. I'm about 15 miles from Augustine beach.

 

[Jake Smith]

Maisey and Leo still need their baths been waiting for the weather to stay warmer we keep getting cold snaps.



Maisie.

Dave dogs have to be on a leash at all times, although past the waves I'm sure it's ok.
We let one of our dogs loose in the water and she tried to swim way out ,really scared us so we never did that again.
We're an hour and a half inland from the beach.
