Simply Sharrvelous

Mattie has become a camera hound.  When she sees the  camera out, she starts posing.  Here, she’s got the wind off the river in her fur.

Mattie made a new friend, and as usual… they have to do the doggie dance to cement the friendship.

How better to celebrate getting soaked on the seawall than lying down in the sand?

Yippee, waves!  I got wet!

And so did yous!

Mattie was begging to go into the water, but I didn’t want to get wet and felt I was already on slippery enough ground, so I didn’t let her.  She whined a bit.

Despite the danger and slickness, Mattie clambered out onto the rocks.  She was very disappointed when I wouldn’t join her.

Despite the tide still receding on the sea wall, Mattie insisted on going out onto the stones.  Yes, they’re slick when they’re wet.  Very slick.  She slipped once, and I did once.  Neither of us quite fell in, but it was close.

Mattie got wet at the beach and really needed to dry off before coming in.  I got the job of doing it.

One of Mattie’s favorite things to do under the juniper tree is get dirty.  Here, she rubs her snout and her body in the dirt.  The final picture is Mattie proud of the dirt on her fur.

This tree is one of Mattie’s favorite places in the back yard.  It’s got shade and dirt to dig.  Here she’s posing just to get her picture taken.  So we did.
