We had a great time yesterday on the beach

....except a certain little orange dog tried to beat me up!

 

We always sound this ferocious,

but it's all part of the game.

 

Late afternoon walk

Everyone seemed to have gone home except for me and dad....I'm not complaining, I really enjoyed

the beach to ourselves....

I'm off the lead and waiting....

....not sure which way dad wants to go, so I will just wait for him to tell me.  My little orange friend just gets on and rushes about...as usual.

I was all prepared for a quick dip!

but when I got to the sea, what did I find - Waves and more Waves...what a let down!

never mind, there is always another day.

New Toy is in danger of being relegated!

As much as I love New Toy (as no doubt you all know), I found something really really good on the beach

YAY!

 

perhaps I should call him

'Sondico'

(now where did I get that idea from!!!)

There I am, rushing into the sea for one last dip of the day

Blue Flag Beach

To be a Blue Flag Beach, they have to provide toilets - and this is mine

 


and if it hadn't been for the photographer I would have used it!
       

Time to give Dad some exercise...

taken with the Olympus 36x optical Zoom

to give you some idea of the distance

this next photo is where mum was taking the photos 

and the arrow shows how far we were away!

New Toy - On the Sand - Sitting in the Sand

a good time had by ME...

Willow and Bramble

Dad has taken some videos of me playing on the beach with a couple of my friends.  Well, mainly Willow a whippet....you will briefly see Bramble but Willow seems to adore me and always wants to play... so here you are Videos x 4.

   

    

Watch out...

...for the sneaky move, when I stop to Shake!   Somebody sneaks in and steals New Toy before I have officially given it up!!!









  Ummm!  he was pretty quick there.

But did you like how I managed to carry New Toy at the beginning of this clip.

Digging Hamish and more people!

Okay, so Hamish is good at Retrieving.  Now he is good at Digging








Trouble is, he then forgot the Retrieving!    and Look at the next video you'll see more people on the beach...(watch carefully now)

Retrieving

Little Hamish proves to be very useful as he will take New Toy back to dad...


 

 but hey...I can do that too you know...

Oh the daily grind...

....of having to go down on the beach!.....and I even wait politely, instead of charging on down






 

First thing, the beach is almost deserted with only one person in the distance....




      

They made me walk backwards!...

I'm waiting oh so patiently for the tennis ball to be thrown...and HAVING to walk backwards

to keep an eye on dad!

I know, I'm so clever!

A whale of a time

Dad thinks we have found the remains of the whale washed up on the beach in the last week or so....

Of course I had to check it out!

 (I made sure my new tennis ball stayed close by!)

Board walk to beach

Here I am going down to the beach recently...(before I hurt my leg, which is slowly getting better)

it was a very clear day but cold, brrr...

the best part for me was playing ball.....this next picture you see me patiently waiting....

a quick shake

don't I look good

and I always pose here!

yes, definitely a wonderful walk on the beach

It's Mine!

my des res

on the beach

Beach bum...

.....in December

It did blow away the cobwebs!

To catch....

 

 

or not to Catch!

 

 

At least Hamish tries
