Thought I'd start off with a few pics today! I'm sure you're sick of seeing photos of Sam but all the ones I took of the boys also had minded children in them so cannot be printed on the blog. The munchkins love the 'big boys' so much and always want to be around them so it's a little hard to separate them...
As you can see we walked down to the beach today. It was boiling hot, the sun was shining and poor Sam was on his last legs so I thought a dip in the sea may cool him off a little bit. He loved it and now he is almost an adult and very strong I don't have to worry quite so much about the currents in the water dragging him off. Did you know Labradors were originally bred to bring in boats? Nor did I until I had one myself! Explains why he pulls on his lead so much (ok so I know that's really slack training...). We bought hi a halti today to see if that would help...
The trip to the beach was closely followed by dripping ice creams for the humans and a cool bowl of water for the canine. I'm loving this weather and feel really sad to hear a lot of people complaining about it, funnily enough it's the same people who complained about the rain and the snow and the ice... Why is it that people are rarely happy with their lot?
It was nice to see a lot of happy smiling faces along the seafront today, clearly mostly holiday makers, lol! There were even people swimming in the sea on the human part of the beach (as opposed to the doggy end). It was hot (about 26 degrees) and I would have loved to have had a dip too but it really wasn't going to happen today...
But tomorrow is the weekend!
