    The T's and two trips to the lake *pics*

    Hi there Pet Talk, popping in suddenly I know, I haven't been around as there has been a lot going on with me lately, but I really wanted to share some pics of the double T's.

    Saturday we decided to look around and see if we couldn't find another area other than Quarry to take the pups to. Quarry is wonderful but sometimes a little variation is nice and I've wanted for a long time to find a lake shore so that Tommy would really get to swim. It's hard to find a beach area around here that allows dogs and the public, but we found one!

    Unfortunately when we found it Saturday I wasn't really prepared. I was wearing jeans and we had no sunscreen on, so we didn't stay very long the first day but went back today with Tommy. Tasha wasn't too thrilled and kept whimpering the first day so today we just brought Tommy. Anyway, don't want to make an essay of this so on to the pics!


    This one was a different area that had a couple trails but no beach, and we walked here for a bit before we found the 2nd area. That is slime/drool on Tommy's face, it was a bit hot (89 F). He pants and gets frothy mouthed and then shakes and it gets onto his face.



    Then we found the beach. I rolled up my pant legs to my knees so I could wade out some. David had shorts on so it was easier for him. Tommy came right out with us but Tash wasn't too keen on it.



    As we went further out though, she couldn't stand being left behind so she got brave and waded out. She didn't like it though, kept lifting each foot as high as she could out of the water.


    She looks happier in this one because I'm cooing at her.


    But the whole time she was out there, she kept holding one paw up in distaste!











    I didn't get many good ones of Tommy the first day. It was afternoon and we were facing straight into the sun. It was also VERY windy and the water was wavy and choppy. One time a droplet got splashed onto the camera lens and I didn't realize it until I looked at the pics later.





    The best pics were with my back to the sun.


    David is comforting Tash in the background, she kept whimpering, wanting us to get out of the water but not willing to leave without us.


    She was quite pleased when we finally went back to shore.


    More next post from today.

    These are from today with just Tommy. It was late morning and the sun was in a better spot so the pics turned out better.


    Watching his ball being thrown.






    Going after it.









    Daddy playing with him, holding the ball underwater and then letting it bob back up.





    "Throw it Daddy!"









    He looks nervous here because there was a boat nearby with people shouting/laughing, but still wouldn't abandon his ball out there!



    After a few minutes he decided the boat was nothing to worry about.


    Just a few more.

    David took a few of me with him. My shorts look like a parachute because of the wind .



    Bringing me back the ball.












    This is one of my favorites.

    That's all, thanks for looking!

    He's so handsome. His fur looks gorgeous when it's wet! That looks like a great place for you guys to go! I'm glad you took the time to post the photos!

    Thank you all! Kari, I agree, I just love his coat when it's wet before he shakes himself, it's beautiful! He had such a blast out there. I just keep smiling to myself, thinking of him galloping through the water like a horse, so happy with his ball in his mouth . He had a wonderful time, and so did we. I'm so glad we went, this may be the last chance for us to enjoy going out in the water. Today got to 90 but by Wednesday our high is supposed to be 62! Fall is here, and we sometimes even get our first snow in October.
