Last Friday we took our dog Riley to the beach for the first time. We went to Cape Henlopen State Park and luckily it was still off-season so we were allowed to go pretty much anywhere. It also wasn't the best day. Weatherman predicted mostly sunny when in reality it was mostly cloudy and with a high of about 48. So we were basically the only ones at the beach which was great.
It was funny to see her reaction to the waves. She kept barking at them at first and she was afraid to get her toes wet when the water chased her, even though she is a waterdog. Shortly after she was frolicking in the water. At one point she got distracted by a seagull out on the ocean that she didn't notice the on coming wave that slammed her. It was priceless but unfortunately I didn't have my camera ready in time.
And her favorite game was digging for her tennis ball. She often wouldn't give me enough time to burry the ball so she'd start digging with my hand in the hole. I have scratches all over my hands now. Definitely doing this again..on a warmer day.
Riley is such a lucky pup to have you guys!
