A day at the beach

   
    Scanning the beach, where to first?  Elsa and I drove down to San Diego yesterday so that we could beach it with my daughter Nicole and Penny.  We went to Fiesta Island where there is tons of room to run.  The whole island is designated "off leash" fun for dogs and at this time of year, there are no crowds to battle with.  Enjoy, I sure did.

    Elsa chased the ball; Penny chased Elsa, chasing the ball. 


    They ran and ran and ran some more.


     Penny was having a ton of fun.

   
    Elsa retrieved her ball and everyone else's; work to do on ball stealing.


    The floating retrieve.


    On this retrieve, Penny stopped halfway and waited for Elsa to return.  So much running.

 
 

    Love this.


    Penny is truly amazing with other dogs.  She just loves everyone. 


    Just having fun.

   
    Super, flying Bull Terrier.
  
     Ahhhh, a water retrieve; so great to see Elsa in the water again.



    Wading through the seaweed; Penny loves the stuff. 


    I cannot believe how high she was.


    Penny wants to know everything that Elsa is doing.

   
    Dog pile. 

After we got back to Nicole's house; the girls were not done with their fun.  They continued to brawl until the moment that Elsa and I left.  Penny and Elsa are the best of friends and it is such a joy to watch them loving their together time. 

 

Penny's sleep over



Penny is staying at our house for a week; never a dull moment. The day starts off with some teeth cleaning.  






My handsome man, watching the girls.


He decides to join in for a short romp.








Elsa is so smart; she starts cleaning Penny's face and then nabs the toy when she lets go.




Always a watchful eye.






Taken just this morning.  Penny crawled ever so slowly into bed with Luke and he didn't even growl.  Progress.  



And Penny Makes 3


I am so happy that I captured this moment; these girls love their man.  


Does it get any cuter than this?  Luke learning to tolerate Penny.


Here you can see Elsa intervening.  She does not like when Penny bothers Luke so steps in to fix the problem constantly.  


Submissive girl.  


Being disciplined for bothering Luke.  You can see Elsa's upper and lower jaw completely engulfing Penny's neck.  Penny knows that this is coming when she bothers Luke.  


Girls just wanna have fun. 


Luke looking to Mom for some reassurance after interacting with Penny.


Another disciplining.


Elsa trying to get Penny to chase her with the ball.


Just beautiful. 


Young sunbather.


More fun with Luke as their pillow.


Hmmmmmm...a caterpillar which Penny ate moments after.  Disgusting. 


Another caterpillar in the bucket.
