A Day At The Beach

I love the beach!  Well sort of – I love digging in the cool sand, relaxing in the shade under the big umbrella, sniffing the cool ocean breezes and of course, barking at the seagulls. 

But what humans tend to forget sometimes is that the sand is HOT!  And if you are a low rider like me, it is hot on my paws AND on my belly.  So if you plan on taking me for a walk on the beach, please do it early in the morning when the sand and the temperatures are cooler. 

Now some of my brofurs and sisfurs enjoy a good romp in the ocean.  Me – I would rather spend the peak hours of a summer day sleeping on the air conditioning vents.  So while you might think it is fun to bring me with you to the beach for the whole day, I might enjoy some quiet time in a nice cool house.

If your fur friend enjoys swimming, be sure to rinse them off when you get back to get any sand, salt or other “stuff” off their fur.  They may not like it, but they will feel and smell a lot better. Have fun!
