We took a family trip to the beach today, with Frankie. First, I have to say it is so HARD to find a dog friendly beach in Sydney. We really only had the one option, so thankfully it turned out to be pretty nice. The morning started with a battle- me vs. dog sunscreen. Frankie did not want to sit still, then he rolled and smeared the stuff all over my bedspread, I couldn't get it off my hands with any amount of soap and water, and while I was doing this, Frank was trying to lick the human sunscreen off my legs!! Then I had to fight to get my stuff into my beach bag because there was so much doggy stuff in there I had no room left. But we eventually got underway. The trip took about an hour and a half, we arrived, went for a beach walk, and had a picnic lunch/ morning tea. Then the guys went for another walk and Frankie and I went swimming while Mum played around with her new camera (see Facebook for full results of this!!) He wasn't sure about the water at first but did some doggy paddling and he liked the taste of the salt water. He seemed pretty happy to see other doggies and experience all the smells the beach had to offer! So it was a good day! I love the beach and wish it were practical to go more often, but right now I'm so tired I just want to sleep!!
