At the Beach with Buffy

We took Buffy for a walk near the beach yesterday. As we were walking, we realized that they have set up a "dog zone". We were a little hesitant to let her play on the beach because her surgeon had recommended we avoid the beach, but we removed her leash after a while and let her do her thing. She had a blast! She kept trying to catch the waves with her mouth, and at one point she squatted and peed in the ocean. Too funny! We found some small pieces of driftwood and had her retrieve them from the water. She didn't really get that she was supposed to bring the wood back to us, though. She knows to do that with balls and other toys, but she must have perceived the wood differently.

She was dirty and stinky to begin with, so a bath was already part of our plan. Fortunately, there's a dog wash right there by the beach, so we just walked over and gave her a good washing before we put her back in the car to go home. Once we got home, she ate her dinner and crashed on her pillow. Gee, I wonder why she was so tired? ;-)
