Strom was complaining for weeks that we didn’t take him to the dog beach nearby. As the weather was warming up we decide to bundle him into the car and drive the thirty minutes to the ocean. He was under strict instructions to respectful of other dogs at beach, don’t drink the salt water as it fries your brain and not to “disrespect” the water with bodily waste. He agreed to two our of the three conditions of entry.

We jumped out of the car, released him from the prison that is his leash and let him go.

I won’t bore you with the details, it’s easier just to post a few photos and let you be the judge of the day he had.

Have you ever done anything in your life that’s made you this happy?

Nine out of ten dogs say sticking your tongue out improves stability and makes you look serious when at the beach.

“The water has joined my list of the most favourite things in the entire world. This list includes every person and object I’ve met in my entire life”

“Why don’t they take me here every day? I could live here and run all day”

I call this one “preparing to launch”
