Beach Dog

I am spending a relaxing day on the beach with my friends. I love going to the beach as there is plenty for a dog to do there such as swim, fetch, and dig without consequences. My humans call the lake the "giant doggie water bowl." The beach can be relaxing for a dog like me, but there are some things to keep in mind if you are taking your doggie to the beach:

1. Make sure that there is some sort of shade for your dog. Especically if they have a black coat like mine which can easily cause them to over heat.

2. Make sure there is planty of water available to your canine companion. They can get very thirsty in the heat of the afternoon.

3. Bring your pooch some toys to play with so they don't get restless.

4. Use caution when coming in contact with other dogs, especially dogs your dog does not know. They can be territorial especially if they are tetheredat a certain spot on the beach.

5. And finally, every dog enjoys a nice long walk down the shore so don't forget to take them on a beach adventure they will surely love you for.

Happy Beaching.
