Simply Sharrvelous

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

Okay, so I kept trying to add a second photo today, but WordPress is NOT cooperating.  Instead, you just get a picture of Mattie chilling at the park and tasting the breeze.

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 pitched a fit on the sidewalk of the Rambla, refusing to leave the beach.  This went on for about a quarter hour.  Really stubborn Sharr who loves her beachies.

Sometimes Mattie refuses to leave the beach.  This is her sitting down and saying she’s NOT LEAVING.  Have you ever tried to pull a hundred and ten pound dog in a direction she doesn’t want to go?
