Today both Anna and I took the day off to be together. Well, together with Winston. He's been a great companion, case in point | |
So we decided to take him down to our favorite beach -- Portuguese Beach -- for his first ocean-beach experience. | |
Unfortunately, the weather conspired against us; while today we have beautiful blue sky with some scattered clouds, it's a day bookended by rain yesterday and predicted tomorrow. So the waves, they were not so nice. | |
In addition to the angry waves, we managed to make it down there just about at the height of high tide, so really there wasn't much actual beach to be had. Unlike his reaction when we took him down to the river where he bounded around and strained to go into the water, his demeanor at the beach was rather nonplussed. | |
Home we went, our dog now beach de-virginized. Coming down the path as we were going up was a full grown saint bernard, who looked fully ready to be sadled and ridded. Can I tell you how glad I am we have Winston -- who will no doubt grow to be a good sized dog, but for now this 25 lb puppy is a good start. |
