fifth in a series ~ Coronado dog beach

Well, this photo pretty much sums up Hallie and Prairie's weekend.... Wherever Hallie went, Prairie was about two feet intrail. It was very easy to keep track of Prairie!

These five retreivers had a fabulous morning at the beach. Note Prairie's location in relation to Hallie.... Izzy stayed home because of her feet. I'm sure she'll get another chance at a fenced beach sometime soon.

Naya certainly looks like her mother's daughter in this photo - there's a ball lover's streak in all of them!

Looks like the old girl's still got it... Piniella had a terrific time chasing the ball - luckily there were lots of them so she didn't have to compete with Naya and Hallie.

Looks like the old girl's still got it (oh, sorry Eileen, I couldn't resist!). Seriously, notice how Hallie has one ball in her mouth and is waiting to chase another... and notice Prairie's position in relation to Hallie's.

I love the look of total concentration on Hal's face. And, not much can be said about Prairie - except that his concentration is complete - but not on the ball...

It's tempting to just stare at the fun loving retrievers in this photo - but look in the background at the two wet-suited people, a surfboard and a Golden... check out the perfect "point" on Prairie... he's got his target in sight!


We watched this Golden get a couple of great rides. At the end, he/she just turns around backwards and steps off. Quite a trick!

Besides watching our dogs have a great time - this beach was fabulous for dog-watching....

~a swimming bulldog?

Frolicking Great Danes?

my absolute favorite photo of the day...

~ very high hopes!


a bigger, fatter, water-avoiding (intact) bulldog...

I think this gal knows where the treats are...

It doesn't seem like you usually see Dobies in the surf...



A much more typical site at the beach. This pup was flying to catch his frisbee, but I wasn't able to snap a good photo of that...
