ABC Wednesday! R is for ??

Thanks Mom!

A big old sloppy kiss is this Golden's way of thanking her human for taking her to the beach!

All three colors!

Lab lovers often are partial to one color. These owners loved all Labs and had one of each color. Since she is an agility trainer, she was able to line them all up, even the puppy to get a pic of them at the beach.

Happy Face!

We all want our dogs to be happy, and after a day at the beach, a canine grin is sure to be your reward, even if you have to carry them home!

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!

All wet now!

From clean and dry one minute to soaking wet and salty the next!

Dry now but wait till later!

With a wash and wear dog, I often look at the dogs with big coats and think how I wouldn't want to have to deal with cleaning them up later!

One last run!

The light is beginning to fade but someone just doesn't want to give up! One last run before we go.

Digging Dog!

I know that rascally sand crab is down here somewhere. Where did he go?

A little sand on the paw!

Sometimes to have fun, you just have to get sandy!

Run Golden Run!

At the beach, the puppies run and play. By the end of the day, their little legs will be tired from trying to keep up with the big guys. Just remember a tired puppy is a good puppy!

Jump for Joy!

Sometimes, when the spirit moves you, you just have to jump for joy!
