Doggy Beach Day

A couple days ago we packed up the pups and went to the dog beach to watch the sunset. The dog beach is on the regular beach, only they have a very large coned of section that is designated for the dogs to roam. Most of the dogs that go there are very well trained and can stay within the cones, but TX Bentley had kind of a hard time grasping the concept. He did do better this time than the last time we went, so I will give him that. He mingled with the other dogs, sprinted through the sand back and forth between G and me, and even got down close to the water on his own. He loved it! LB was social and well behaved as always, but we've noticed a huge decrease in interest since getting him nuetered. He's still friendly with other dogs, he just seems to have a shorter attention span with them. He sniffed everyone out, ran around for a little while and then was just over it. Before he was the one to keep playing even after we'd call for him and tell him we were going bye bye. I love having a place other than the yard to let them run around and let some energy out, and it's a place we can enjoy too!

PS. Aren't those daddy/doggy footprints just the cutest!?

Sunday Funday: Doggy Beach

Today we took the Bentleys to the doggy beach! Neither of them had ever been to the beach before, so I was mostly excited to see how they would react to the sand and the water. Based on our daily walks around the neighborhood, I didn't anticipate Dallas Bentley wanting to play with the other dogs, he's pretty antisocial. I knew Long Beach Bent would love it though! He's always gone up to any dog, big or small, and become instant bff's with them. Once they got in the sand, they acted like they didn't know where to go. They kept looking around and back up at us like they were confused, but they seemed to like it! Most of the dogs were much bigger than ours and they all seemed to be picking on my small little runt, but LB Bentley was like one of their own, prancing around with all them like a big dog! He kept ending up further and further down the strip getting lost in play, but he'd always come running back full speed and check in with us! While the shy one was glued to my side for protection, I tried to ease him into the water as the waves snuck up, but he wouldn't have a thing to do with it. The whole day was so much fun though! We were like proud parents watching them interact with other pups, and we had huge smiles on our faces the whole time!
