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

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