Mattie making friends at the beach.  We’ve seen this dog several times, and it always plays with her.

Once she got out of the water, Mattie tried to get her Halti off.  She didn’t succeed in anything but getting herself very, very sandy.

Mattie enjoying herself in the water.

Just Mattie getting wet and enjoying the water today.

Mattie, water.  Pictures of Mattie in the water… what could be better?

Three pictures of Mattie just wading around enjoying the water.  She especially has been liking it lately because it’s been so very warm here.

Mattie likes to try to catch fish with her mouth as she wades.  Here, some of her efforts.

On our way back from the Rambla one day, we stopped for an ice cream at the little shop down the stairs.  Mattie loved hers, as you can see, and it took longer than usual because it was frozen solid.  She has a look of such joy on her face.

Mattie sitting in the field on the water side of the Rambla.  I think she’d sit there all day if we let her.
