Ok so our ridiculously cute dog Callie, made her first trip to the beach. She has never been in a swimming pool.The dreaded bath tub has been her only experience with water. She hate the Tub. There are a few dog beaches over here. I haven't found any that are very close to us but Long Beach is only about 30 miles away from where we are in Hollywood.
We made the drive south to the beach and settled in to our spot. Callie started off being on her leash because I wanted to make sure she was cool with the many others who were off leash. She was good to go. She was set free and and even did some wave jumping. Things were grand until she followed me out too far and was eaten by a small wave that was about to crash. It went about a foot over her head and made her face about an inch wide. It was pretty funny for us but not for her. After the face full of salt water she was done with the beach. All of the other dogs acted like they were in absolute paradise. They love the water.
There was every type of dog at this beach. The annoying dog, ugly dog, overweightdog, sissy dog, etc. The annoying dog actually trampled Kayla twice in about a span of 5 minute. I guess that is expected at that type of beach huh?
It's ok. We went back the very next day and gave Callie a second chance. She was a little better when it came to the water. She didn't get in it but at least got her feat wet. We'll take her again and I think she will get better with each trip. She seemed a little shy around the other dogs. The only other dogs she has been around she has been able to dominate. A strong 8 lb dog she is. But at the beach there are some intimidating dogs. She seemed shy. Either way it's pretty damn cute. We're looking forward to the next dog beach retreat.
