summer_jackelThe weather has been just too beautiful to be indoors, so I took the afternoon off work yesterday (still reeling from Sunday, of course) poked a Kyn to see if she was game for a trip to the beach, grabbed a truckfull of underexercised dogs and headed as west as this continent goes.
We had lots of fun and I feel much better now. We also hauled half a tree's worth of driftwood up a rather steep trail so that we could make parrot play structures, because we are the kind of mad individuals that enjoy the company of houseparrots. Of COURSE the beach with the best driftwood deposits is the one at the bottom of a very steep cliff; that's just how these things work.
I took pictures.
All of the dogs were pretty excited. Fairly early on in the walk, Rooster broke a stay to go charging up to a small terrier-thing. Of course, this resulted in Rooster's getting to practice his sit-stay while Kyn threw sticks for everyone else, and I set up for the exciting action shots. Thus does one end up with a trained puppy.
Technically, Kyn is throwing the stick for Luck; my dogs don't care about the stick, but they really like it when other dogs run.
Rooster gets called!
Coba demonstrating his very favorite trick, the Boing. He is feeling fine now.
Still sitting!
Running is Bliss.

The tide was wonderfully out.
These mussels are as big as my hand, some of them bigger
chitons
Goose barnacles
Rooster is now free to run with the pack
Much happier now.
