Take me to the river.... dunk my face in the water




Today, we visited Riverside Gardens, an offleash dog exercise area near the Swan River. Barbie wasn't off leash the whole time as she kept trying to wander off, but I let her have a bit of a run. Here is a small fluffy trying to figure out why this strange dog is plunging her head under the water.



Barbie doing her 'plowing her face through the water' trick. She dips her head right under and then 'pops' out of the water, jumping up, and then sprinting out. I am yet to successfully capture this maneuver!



This staffy thought she could catch Barbie. Big mistake!

Oh, and I took some video at the beach yesterday. Bender is no slouch when it comes to running but Barbie can smoke him easily. Watching these two run around makes me think other dogs are moving in slow motion!

The Swan River looks a lot better than our 'little' river right now!

Don't you hate it when you never have the camera out and turned on just when they do that thing you've been wanting to photograph forever!

Love the beach video. Look at Barbie go! Bender isn't a slouch either, I think he and Frankie would have a lot of fun:-) Beryl and Barbie could amuse each other racing on that lovely beach. You're making me homesick!

If the Swan was raging like your river I think we'd all be very worried! Though we have had very minimal rain this winter, so there's very little freshwater flow downstream.

I'm sure Beryl and Barbie would love to race and Frankie and Bender could play biteyface heheh

Wow! What a great outing! I'm hoping that Bunny loves the beach when we go next month. She won't get to run on it off leash, though. If we had an off leash dog beach here, I can't even imagine the fun it would be! Bender sure holds his own with Barbie, no doubt about that!

I love her jellybean WW&W harness, too!

Off leash beaches are very awesome. Bender pretty much grew up on that beach, Nic used to live about a 5 minute walk away. They have matching WW&W jellybeans...I think they are adorable! the first one I ordered was too big for Barbie so Bender got it. He only wears his on leash walks though. Barbie has to wear hers on the beach in case I have to leash her and she tries to escape ;)

We are jealous, no off leash beaches around here :( We stopped by from the Blog Hop and are following you.

These kind of outing make the people very comfortable around us. We can share our feelings with our friends while being out on an outing. This will also make us feel relaxed and calm.
