Beach Trip!

[potato_head]

We brought Tripper to the beach yesterday! Seabrook, which is one of those 'dogs are supposed to stay on a leash, but if they behave nobody will say anything' places, so we had Tripper off-leash only when playing fetch with him, which is when he behaves best. He was even good when some other off-leash dogs came around and were playing fetch into the water as well.

I got a bit of a sunburn, and kind of wish I had been able to bring one of my sun-umbrellas, but as I had designated myself Photographer it would have been difficult to juggle.

I took over 200 photos :o! In only an hour or so! I ended up tossing about 38 of them for being very crappy, and ended up with exactly 200 that went up on facebook. I'm only uploading a small fraction of my favorites here so as not to photospam y'all :P also, coding 200 photos into an entry would be both boring and annoying.

On the drive there:



Yes, that is Tripper's choke chain...I wasn't too happy about it but in retrospect the salt water wouldn't have been good for his leather harness...and I've realized now that he rarely pulls at all, so I'm not as unhappy with it as I was.

BALL!









Apparently, salt water is tasty.



Walkies on leash!





Tripper wasn't very comfortable going in deep while on his leash, I think using his choke chain made it even more uncomfortable for him. He kept grabbing the leash and pulling dad back out.



:D



THEN A FRISBEE





THEN ROLLING IN THE SAND



Fashionable.



BALL AGAIN!



(Notice how he is now free of sand...that's because he shook it off. All over us.)



Resting...



MORE BALL









The end :D

Stay tuned for a baking post in about five minutes. I wanted to separate them so people who wanted to see the baking post don't have to deal with the photospam load time :P
