Beach Dog Boogie!

2008-11-11T07:22:00.000-08:00

Molly is the orginal Salty Dog! seh has always loved the beach and digging for sand crabs. '
Life is good at the beach , but life is even better if you can take a break on the sofa afterwards!
If you have a Salty Dog of your own, or one of your friends has a Salty Dog, you might enjoy my book Salty Dogs! It makes a great Christmas present for the dog lovers on your list!

Jack Russell Terrier Thinks she is a Turtle!

2008-10-29T08:08:00.000-07:00

Molly seems to think she is a sea turtle. I finally had to remove her from the hunt for the elusive ghost crab!

California Dreaming!

2008-10-03T06:58:00.000-07:00

While pumpkins are nice, I tell Molly is wishing she was at the beach instead of in the photo studio!

Jake saved from the jaws of Death!

2008-10-01T05:42:00.001-07:00

Listen to the interview of the owner of Jake, a rat terrier. The owner saw a shark grab Jake as he swam and dove in , hitting the shark till it released Jake. This was one lucky pup!

Surfing Dogs in Paradise!

2008-09-29T05:18:00.000-07:00

The Beach, Can you Dig It?

2008-09-26T04:16:00.000-07:00

All dogs visiting the beach have a different way of enjoying the beach. This Dalmation spent a lot of time digging in the sand.

This Boston Terrier had no interest in swimming, but was willing to put her toes in at least.

This JRT, my Molly, is still pouting that she wasn't chosen for the cover of Salty Dogs!

Cover dogs at the Beach

2008-09-25T05:34:00.000-07:00

NO matter what beach I go to , I am always taking pictures. These are two pictures that resulted in covers for calendars!

Are you an early bird because of your dog??

2008-09-24T05:11:00.000-07:00

For many people, a nice thing about having a dog is that they often force you to get out of bed. They are ready to go from the second they wake up to the second they go to bed.

They encourage you to get up, take them for a walk, take them to the beach for an early morning swim.

The early bird dogs get the walk, the waves and the ball! Enjoy the quiet of the morning with your dog, you will be glad you did!

JRT shows how to enjoy the beach!

2008-09-23T04:46:00.000-07:00

Fall means less people, warm water and lots of fun for dogs at the beach. Molly, my JRT, really enjoys the freedom of the beach in the fall.

She doesnt even need a toy, the joy of running is enough to keep her happy.

Her motto is Run hard or go home!

Beach Dog Magnet, some people just attract dogs!

2008-09-22T07:37:00.001-07:00

Dogs flock to certain people, and this lady on the beach certainly was one of those people! I think she also had plenty of treats in her pockets as well and yes she was sitting down which makes it easier for the dogs to smell those tasty treats!

What breed is this on the beach??

2008-09-17T13:51:00.001-07:00

This breed is one that I have only seen once on the beach! with a long flowing coat , it is easy to understand why they might be fun at the beach, they have to be a pain cleaning up afterwards.
So , what breed is this?

Finally , a way they find who didnt scoop the poop!!

2008-09-17T13:51:00.000-07:00

I know we all have been guilty of not scooping the poop once in a while. Sometimes Fido has another suprise for you and you have already used the one bag you had!
Maybe they will use this to find out who isnt scooping the poop!

American Pit Bull Terrier Puppy at the Beach!

2008-09-16T08:20:00.000-07:00

What a face and I love finding the blue pits! He was just four months old so I can imagine he will become quite a bruiser!

Beach Poodle does incredible Leaps! Airs about the sand!

2008-09-15T08:12:00.000-07:00

Poodle lovers, check out how cool this Poodle was! Her name is Seashell and she was quite the leaper!

Pointer at beach!

2008-09-12T12:02:00.000-07:00

A friend pointed out that there were no Pointers at Salty Dogs! I have only seen one on the beach and this guy was in CA! He was quite beautiful!

Does your Dog Dive?

2008-09-11T14:56:00.000-07:00

This is an amazing video! I love the filming and the music and I sure hope the golden doesnt swallow a rock!

Play fight!

2008-09-11T05:30:00.000-07:00

When dogs hit the beach, they often look for friends, and when they meet friends, many of them immediately begin playing. Some dogs run with their friends but some like to get down and get sandy ! These two younguns are having a blast and at the end of their beach time, they should be good and tired!

Now Molly , my JRT, doesnt really enjoy this kind of play. How does your dog enjoy the beach??

Pit bulls Love the Beach!

2008-09-10T11:59:00.001-07:00

Most dogs love the beach. Pit Bulls are no exception. They love to run, surf and roll in the sand!

Bad Beach Dogs!

2008-08-28T04:25:00.000-07:00

Dogs will be dogs!

Let's Hit the Beach!

2008-08-26T10:03:00.000-07:00

Do yourself a favor! this fall hit the beach with your dogs, the weather is cool, the water still warm and best of all, you and your dogs will find a lot less people on the beach, but plenty of dogs with savvy owners!

Enjoy!

2008-06-26T12:47:00.000-07:00

It is amazing how much energy dogs have! I find they often have no idea when to quit and it is our job to remind them. Just like toddlers, we need to make them take a nap so they can continue enjoying the beach!

Diligence is the mother of good fortune! this Dalmation was very diligent! when he smiled you could even see how his teeth had been worn by grabbing the salty ball !

New Review of Salty Dogs!

2008-05-21T04:49:00.000-07:00

The DWAA(Dog Writers Assocaition of America) newsletter just reviewed Salty Dogs!

This book of color photographs of dogs taken at the beach by Jean M Fogle is absolutely wonderful! Paired with appropriate quotations ranging from “All animals except man know that the ultimate in life is to enjoy it” (Samuel Butler) to “Happiness depends on ourselves” (Aristotle), the book joyfully celebrates the true meaning of a fun day the beach: sun, sand, water, tide, toys and sticks floating by. It reminds us all that sometimes, now matter what else is going on, if you live full in the present sometimes life really is a day at the beach. This book is an excellent gift for any dog and beach lover.

Let's all do our part to keep the earth healthy and our oceans clean. Take an extra bag to the beach and pick up trash while your dog romps and plays. Be sure to pick up any poop that inconsiderate owners have left behind. Poop on the beach is the number one reason beaches are closed to dogs! So pitch in and help keep our earth clean.

Hunting dogs are a natural for the beach!

What breed are you?

2008-03-10T17:25:00.000-07:00

Take Dogster's quiz to see what breed you are! I have taken these type of quizzes before and have yet to come out as a JRT, which naturally is my favorite breed. This time I am a Lab, now I do love to swim, go to the beach, eat and run around so maybe I really am a Lab. I don't like digging in the earth like JRTs or eating dead things like they enjoy. Maybe being a Lab makes it easier for me to get along with my JRT?
Who knows, go take the quiz to see what breed you are!

Salty Dogs Magnet

2008-03-10T04:39:00.000-07:00

Dog lovers that love taking their dogs to the beach need to be reminded that having dogs on the beach is a priledge we don't want to lose!
