Sunny Saturday #8-”The Great Outdoors”

Sunny made a full recovery from last week’s bug and bounced back with twice as much energy. He’s growing  so quickly and turning into a very athletic dog. He’s built to run: big barrel chest with a slighter back end. To channel some of his energy, we though this week was a good time to …

Dogless Nature

A trip to the Channel Islands National Park provided plenty of nature, but sadly no dogs. With our temporarily dogless situation, we decided to take some time and visit the islands, which are an hour off the coast of Santa Barbara. Crossing the channel you are likely to see whales migrating, seals, sea lions and …

Camp Kona- Part 2

Day 2 of Kona’s beach adventure, we headed down to the beach right after breakfas,t to find it empty. Kona couldn’t believe that even though we are surrounded by millions of people, we were the only ones on this huge beach…what awesome luck! We explored caves and tide pools, and the boys decided to a …

Camp Kona- Part 1

This weekend we decided to take a mini-staycation and go camping at a local beach in Malibu. We arrived early and set up base camp in the campground, nestled in a canyon across from the beach. There were a gazillion, okay, a lot of chipmunks surrounding the camp waiting to steal some unsuspecting campers dinner …

22/52 : Kona – Watching Surfers

Nikon D60 : 55mm : shutter 1/320: aperture f /13: ISO 200 : circular polarizer My view of Kona watching surfers during an overcast day at the beach. He sat for nearly an hour, fascinated. I wonder if he would have liked to join them.

A Day At The Beach

After working like maniacs for months we took a day off and spent it at the beach. The weather was perfect and Kona had a great time. It was a real joy to see how confident and happy he was, a marked change from the first time he was at the beach. Even though it …

Weekend Beach Bum.

After our big Cali Adventure, it was hard to get back into the swing of work. So after slogging through the week we decided to spend a day at the beach to relax. We packed up a nice picnic and headed over to our favorite local dog friendly beach, Leo Carrillo State Park beach. Dogs …

Cali Coastal Adventure: Part 2- Carmel

Welcome to part 2 of my big Cali coastal adventure! We headed down the coast a couple of miles to our main destination which was Carmel-By-The –Sea. It’s a very nice seaside town with a beautiful dog beach and it is quite possibly one of the most dog friendly places ever. You may have heard …

Santa Monica Meeting.

The other day the humans had a meeting in Santa Monica and I got to tag along. After the meeting we went for a walk along the bluffs by the beach. I was eager to go and smell all the ocean air. The beach was very quiet. In tourist season it gets very busy. It …

A Beachy Day.

Today I went on a big adventure to the beach!   There is a nice stretch of beach right in between Santa Monica Beach and Venice Beach that is very nice to hang out on. There is lots of sand. At the edge of the sand there is a bike and walking path that goes …

A Nice Surprise.

I  had a nice surprise this week when my friend, Frog the Dog, sent me a certificate! Isn’t it nice? I was helping him look for his toy, Spiky, who got lost in the ocean. I combed the beaches in Los Angeles, keeping an eye out for Spiky but Spiky was found not too far …

Beach Bum.

Yesterday we went to the beach. Los Angeles has many beaches but dogs are only allowed on a handful, so we went to Leo Carrillo State Beach which is part of a big park of the same name. You can camp and hike in the park and the beach has tide pools and a giant …
