I’m not following her on that slippery causeway!
Just Mattie scrunched up in the corner by the front balcony door. She’d fallen asleep there and looks so boneless and relaxed.
She just looks so dainty with her paws folded that way. Yes, I’m in love with my Sharr.

On a Stroll
Sometimes Mattie just looks so happy and confident as she explores. Here, one of those times is captured.

Sleepy Bye
Mattie all tucked up for bed. Unfortunately, she doesn’t use her dog bed often. It’s slippery. She loves being covered up, though.

I swear, she’ll investigate any smell!

Yet More Interest
Mattie once again sniffing along. She had a traumatic day today. Five strangers came to the house and went inside. I took her on a walk to get over it.

Mattie at the End of the Beach
Here’s a picture of Mattie after her romp in the water. You can tell she’s still ecstatic, but she’s also tired! She even managed to get her Halti off in the water. Needless to say, it went right back on after the picture.

Time to Go Home
More pictures from the same set as yesterday of Mattie at the beach. This is really a big trip for her. The beach is half a mile from the house, then she gets in the water and plays, and then has to walk another half mile back home. Her hip’s still not completely recovered from the surgery, but Mattie doesn’t complain and is eager to go to the beach. We hope the water will help strengthen her leg.
