The next best thing!

Molly is enjoying looking at her advance copy of Salty Dogs. Reading the book is going to be the next best thing to being at the beach! The book will be out Sept 24th. While Molly likes to look at the pictures of her, there are pictures of Labs, Goldens, German Shepherds, Rat Terriers, Borzoi, Welsh Springer Spaniels, Wheaton Terriers, Boston Terriers and more. All of them are enjoying the beach in their own way.

Shake it off!

When you get to the beach, remember to shake off the stress from your daily life! It does a body good!

Visiting Honey!

While I was at the Outer Banks this week I got to visit with an old friend. I first photographed Honey about eight years ago. Over the years I have taken many pictures of her and her photos have appeared in many calendars and publications. She still likes swimming but might be a little slower now.

It is always nice to visit with old friends!

Surfing over to the Outer Banks!

Next week I will be at the Outer Banks looking for salty dogs to photograph. Who knows maybe I will see you!

Did I do that?

Picking up the poop is so important! Take a bag, actually take two or three and pick up what your dog leaves behind. It is amazing how many owners cover it up and leave. How about if it was your child that came down to dig in the sand and uncovered an unexpected treasure? Poop is the reason dogs have been banned at many beaches. Pick it up so we can continue to let our dogs enjoy the freedom of the beach!

Refreshing start to the day!

What better way could there be to wake up in the morning. Labs don't put their toes in , they explode into the waves!

Time to go!

One last look, then it is time for home , a bath and a nap. Some dogs refuse to leave and have to be carried away. There is always tommorrow.

Catch me if you can!!

A cool morning at the beach encourages a vigorous game of Catch me if you can!

Find your own fun!

Some dogs naturally find a way to entertain themselves. First this way, then that way, tail chasing gives this beach loving JRT a lot of fun in the sun. And best of all if nothing exciting is happening, the tail is always available.

Reflection!

Blue skies, freedom , and a place to enjoy the run: no wonder dogs love the beach!
