Simply Sharrvelous

Mattie has a habit of exploring other people’s entrances.  We do keep her out of their houses, but here you can see her sniffing the flowers at the entrance to an apartment block.

Mattie out on the far side of the Rambla again, just posing for pictures.  She does that so well!

Mattie wading in the water again. I’ve never seen another dog so in love with it.

Mattie resting in the saltgrass after going across the causeway.  She even likes sitting and contemplating the waves from here.

Mattie walking happily and confidently on the slippery rocks.

Mattie eating more ice cream at McDonald’s. I think she’s getting even faster.

Mattie’s gotten a lot less timid about things like rocks and rickety bridges since her hip’s healed.  She insisted on going across these rocks, and she bravely crosses this bridge with rusting I-beams.

More of Mattie and the skyline, and then a close up of Mattie exploring a tide pool.  She gets upset if we walk anywhere near water and isn’t allowed in.

These are Mattie in the area behind the seawall, tramping in the water.  It’s also a good view of the apartment blocks overlooking the sea.  This peninsula is called Punta Carretas, and we live a few blocks inland from the buildings.

From the not-quite sunny shores of Rio de la Plata, Mattie wishes you a Merry Christmas!  She had one- she got presents and spoiled with leftovers.
