sandy dog face
I’m always a little sad to see summer end – especially after a rough winter like the one we just had.
feet in the sand
To enjoy a few remaining warm days, Ronan and I (and a few human friends) spent a few days at the beach this past weekend.
We were lucky enough to find a place to stay that happily welcomes dogs. Bonus: after Labor Day dogs are allowed on the beach!!! We had so much fun!
cool frisbee dog
Ronan acted like he was raised on the beach. He ran off-leash chasing his frisbee, frolicking at the surf, and meeting new friends (human and dog). I tried to teach him to ride the waves

on his new boogie board. He rides the boogie board on the sand, but is not a fan of the waves coming near him (yes, he can swim). Let’s just say it’s a work in progress:)
dog sun break
When he was tired he hung out in the sun repellent tent I bought him. I looked like one of those parents with tons of stuff for their kids on the beach, except my kid was the furry kind!
It was all worth it. I couldn’t have imagined he’d love it so much and be so well behaved. Moral of the story: if to train your dog to listen to commands, socialize them, and prepare for their

needs on the beach, you too might enjoy a fabulous beach experience like we did.
Goodbye summer – see you next year!
