Mally is not a water dog.
She will not get in the water.
She does not swim.
She does not like anyone else in the water either.
But she will get her feet wet.
Just up to her ankles.
That's it.
Then she'll jump out and immediately shake off.
And she looks around like she's really proud of herself for getting so wet.
We knew taking her to the beach would be...interesting.
The beach was nearly empty (no other dogs) and there was no leash law, so she was on her own to explore.
So we let her.
And she's off!
Almost there!
Whoa, look at all this water!
No leash! I'm free!
Phew, it's hot.
Maybe I should get my feet wet.
And get a drink.
I don't know what you guys were worried about, this is simple enough.
Whoa, that water just came at me.
Ahhh! Too wet! Too wet!
Tastes funny too.
It's not so bad, as long as it stays where it's supposed to.
Stay! Bark!
Damn it. I'm all wet again.
Maybe I'll just hang out back here.
Oh yeah, this is nice.
I could get used to this.
Ok, enough of that.
Let's move.
I got places to go and birds to chase.
Waves to watch and people to pet me!
I love the beach.
I'm staying here forever.
See you guys later.
I'm a beach dog now.
Adios!
What gorgeous pictures of Mally! I'm always jealous of dog owners who can let their mutts off leash. My dogs would be gone in a flash. Like, GONE gone. Haha!
ReplyDeleteAww he is too cute!! What beach?? It looks beautiful and empty!!
ReplyDeleteYour dog is absolutely adorable!! My dog completely loves the water and the beach, it's the funniest thing to watch him.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love these pictures (and Melly monologue).
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! I love the commentarry from Mally. I suspect Hanna would have said similar things. She was not a water dog, although she did fall in the pool a few times--literally, fell. Like, lost her balance and fell in. My sheltie from when I was little (Muffin) looooooved the beach. We'd go every single day after school and she would run and run and run. And be a soaking wet mess. Salt water + sheltie fur = no fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! I can't wait to snuggle with Mally if I manage to come up to STL for Lewis & Clark!
So stinkin' cute!!
ReplyDeleteshe is so precious! what fantastic pictures!
ReplyDeleteThese are great pics of Mally! My favorites are the ones with her paw prints in the sand while she is running. This beach looks so pretty! Where is it?
ReplyDeleteLooks like my kind of vacation----the beach, my camera....that's the way I like to go! Great photos of Mally---loved the whole sequence! Have fun.

ReplyDeleteThese pictures are amazing! The ones with the paw prints in the sand should be framed. I love them! And I'm glad she could enjoy the beach and find her happy place.
