Beach Walk & Trip to Roger's

FRIDAY PM: Since mosquitos are getting really bad in the backyard due to the rain, Mom took me to the beach near the pier to run tonight. She calls it "yanking the knot out of my tail" because I start bouncing around the house a bit if I don't get a long run in during the week. Two nice ladies from Amici's restaurant were very loud laughing on the beach (perhaps due to what was in the large cups they were drinking out of) and called me over. They petted me and thought I was a pretty dog. I ran in a lot of circles and played in the waves. Mom bought me some dog biscuits when she did the Friday night grocery shopping. TGIF!

SAT AM:
Went to the beach early AM with Mom and Linda. There were a few dead fish on the beach...I tried to roll on one so that I would smell good - but Mom started yelling at me. I ran and ran - zooming up and down the beach - for an hour and a half as they walked. I met a small labradoodle, standard poodle and played in the water some with a yellow lab and funny-looking golden retriever who had been shaved in a silly, modern cut - almost like a mohawk on his back. I chased some pigeons but didn't catch any.

After we hit the beach, Mom usually takes me to visit Roger who trims my nails, but they said not to bring me backin all sandy and wet, so we headed straight home after our walk. I supervised Mom mowing the front lawn. Then, she hosed me down - using the garden hose - what was she thinking? Then...she drove me to see Roger who trimmed my nails. I try to distract him by licking his face - he laughed and said his glasses were fogging up. (I noticed that he is now charging Mom more for nail trims because I sometimes make it a bit difficult.)

Mom says I have to have my nails trimmed more often as I have a dog show coming up in a few weeks!
