strike one, strike two...

before we found the beautiful prince of a park in temecula, we had to kiss a couple of frogs.

"where's the pretty dog parks at?"

frog #1: this sad park was crickets dog park in encinitas. the big dog side had lawn and shaded benches for people. there were quite a few people with their german shepherd sized dogs there. we had high hopes until we turned the corner and saw the little dog area. it didn't have dirt or grass, it had indoor/outdoor carpet to give the appearance of grass!!!

frog #2: this one was sunset dog park in san marcos. it was attached to a beautiful people park; lush and green, lots of trees, lots of room. there was a couple of very overweight dachshunds on their way out when we got there, so we had this barren park to ourselves. we stayed only long enough to take this picture, then we were on our way.

i had only mapped out three dog parks for our weekend getaway, so with two strikes against us, we would either strike out or we could hit a home run with our next stop in temecula; and as you saw on my october 5th post, it was a grand slam!

until we meet again my friends-

bailey goes to the beach!

even though we live in so cal, we had never taken bailey to a beach. well on saturday, that grave injustice was remedied. our original plan was to go to del mar dog beach but since that is an off leash beach, we thought the dogs there might be a bit overwhelming for bailey's first visit. so we went to cardiff state beach instead. all the dogs were leashed and under the control of their humans.


bailey wasn't too thrilled with the ocean and kept her distance most of the time. the only time she got her feet wet is when i lifted her up and stuck her in the tide. hey, i had to get at least one picture of her in the water.


she was much happier on the dry sand.



she thought the kelp was very interesting and spent quite a lot of time with it and had to stop and check out each cluster.



i took a LOT of pictures so it was really hard settling on just these few to post. i could have posted dozens but i didn't want to overload you.



i hope you enjoyed this little peek into bailey's first day at the beach.

until we meet again my friends-
