They liked the water! It was very cold--maybe 65 degrees and windy, and the water was cold--but the boys didn't seem to mind too much. Waldo kept eating the water and the foam!!
I took both the boys for a run along the sand--I had to run my fastest speed to keep up with Waldo. If you click on this picture, you can see a bigger version of it, and look at Waldo's face!!
We stayed for a little while, and there weren't many people at all. When it got a little bit later in the evening, we let the dogs run into the surf. Gus in particular was very interested in the waves. Once, he ran far out as the tide pulled out--then was totally overtaken by a wave!! He was a little more timid after that--and in fact didn't go out in the water past his belly!
He kept "fetching" his leash for us.
Nick would run up to the surf, and then race the waves back to the shore with the dogs. Pretty funny!
The sign of a great day--both boys zonked out when we got home!!
This won't be our last trip to the beach--we would like to visit the off-leash beach in Long Beach some weekend!
Where did you guys end up settling?? There is a great dog beach in San Diego too, but that is probably farther for you. Are you going to look for a teaching job?? Hope you are settling in well. Julie
