Poses with Daddy

Digging in the sand

Like most dogs I'm sure, Dudley enjoyed digging around in the sand. Maybe to bury a bone? He was using both his front paws to dig, and kept falling face first into the hole. Lots of sand in the snout and mouth, but it was too much fun to mind!

Testing the Water

This wasn't Dudley's first encounter with the water, but this was his first with the ocean. We took him to the harbor side earlier in the day to see how he'd like it. He enjoyed running up and down the beach and did a cannonball into one of the shallow tidal pools. The water came up to his belly and he waded back to shore. He didn't seem to mind getting wet, but he wasn't really interested in swimming.
