We have been doing so much yardwork lately that we decided we needed to take a break this weekend! Saturday night we had some friends over, (which I neglected to get my camera out for - I hate when I do that!) and then on Sunday we treated the pups to an afternoon at the doggie beach in Annapolis. We had Max to a dog beach in Cali when we first got him, but we've never had Willow in the water.

It was HOT out! At 11am I checked weather.com and it said it was 89 but felt like 97. Yuck! Needless to say, the beach was crowded with lots of pups trying to cool off.

Max had a ball chasing after the other dogs along the shoreline.

But Willow was a little water shy and opted for a nice shady spot under a tree.


So, Matt decided to try to coax her in on the leash.

And it worked! Go Willow, go!

Max however was another story when Matt took him further out. Have you ever met a dog that didn't know how to doggie paddle? Well, meet Max! He was HILARIOUS! Instead of just doggie paddling, he would HOP in and out of the water to get back to the shore.

hop up

and down

back up

and back down. Oh Max, maybe next time you'll figure it out!
Me and the pups taking a break for a minute in the shade of the car before heading home.

And one of the best parts of the day, a roadside fresh produce stand where we picked up some local corn on the cob to have with dinner tonight. Yum!
