Duke: Dog beach and visit with Simba

I've been wanting to go to the dog beach again for a long time. I had postponed it a week because there had been so much rain that I was afraid it would be flooded there. So, on Friday I went. Here's Duke's reaction when I was calling him "adorable doggie". That's how I got that in the sig.

We got to the beach and here's how foggy and overcast it was. This made for really cool weather and a peaceful beach. There were only a couple of other people there. We stayed about an hour and it was so peaceful.

I liked the look of this grass and sand. Kind of reminded me of snow a little.

Bear with me. I haven't put up his pics in a while so I took a lot and these are my favorites.

Here's a shell I found. I swear I didn't even touch it. Isn't that a mean face?

Lots more coming!

I had called Kay's house and left a message for her mom. I hated to be over there and not contact her. I also stopped by the restaurant and got to see her there to let her know I was in the area. After the dog beach, I stopped and we chatted for a while. Simba and Duke played.

Here's Duke getting vocal and trying to get Simba to play some more.

Looking cute. Excuse the crappy job I did with their eyes. I was very tired and trying to get them uploaded so I could finish at work.

Playing some more. I really love it when dogs do that play bow.

Still more coming. Nala coming up.

Nala's turn. I had thought she and Duke might be different without Kay there but that wasn't the case. We both held onto them and Duke growled so I guess it's just bad chemistry. Put Duke up and let Simba and Nala play for a bit.
Pretty Nala

It was hard to get pics of them playing because they were moving really fast. Kay's mom said I shoud be there when Kiara was there, too. I don't know how Kay gets good pics.

I was laughing at Nala's ears here.

Still more!

Now this has got to be one of my most favorite ones of the day. Here's a very silly Nala.

Really Shows his Personality!!!

Looks like a fun Day!!!

What wonderful photos Val :D, Duke is SO handsome. I love the photos taken at the beach, it does look very peaceful.

Thanksyou so much for sharing your sweet boy, Sim and Nala with us.

Great pictures! Duke is so handsome! He sure seems to love the beach. Nice pictures of Kays pups also, I bet they enjoyed the company with Kay being gone. :)

Great pictures. I really liked the ones of Duke on the bench, and the pictures of Nala were really good, too. How great to have a beach the dogs can play on. You won't find one of those up here :( .

We wish we could reach in the pictures and give all the doggies big kisses and hugs!! Love Duke's stunning bandana and what an adorable boy he is!! Simba and Nala are equally adorable!!! What beach do you go to? It's beautiful!! We live inland but we go to Daytona or New Smyrna Beach because they're closest(about 30 minutes).

Terry, Daisy and Delilah:cool:

Thanks for posting these Val. I miss my muttlies so badly. :( That one of Nala Bala especially killed me. When she lays on her back like that I usually lay beside her and rub her tummy.

Great pictures!
I loved looking at every single one of them.
Dog, beach and silly Nala playing on her back.

They are sooo cute, and they shell is pretty funny !

Loved those Duke pics! What a handsome boy, looks like he had fun at the beach :p I have to agree with everyone else.. that picture of Nala on her back is priceless :D

Sorry Val.. I had to stop by again.
I swear I miss those dogs so badly. :(
I don't want to leave Ohio but I so want to be with them.

And the one with his name in the sand are my favorites. Gosh I'd love to take Tommy and Tash down to the beach to play :)

Duke is so photogetic! He is a great model for PT! I love seeing pictures of him.

Great pictures! Duke looks cool with his rainbow bandana :cool:
and look at the two handsome boys, Duke and Simba together - they look like they could be related :)

Duke is sooooo adorable! He must have a little ham in him too when it comes to pictures!! LOL

I also loved the one of Nala's ears. She looked like the Easter bunny!!! It was very nice of Kay's mom to let Simba and Nala play even though Kay wasn't home! Her mom is a very special lady!! :D Thanks for sharing all these wonderful pictures with us!
