Sandy Beach

Look at this sky!
We've been to Sandy Beach twice this week.  
First time in MONTHS!

 We had the beach to ourselves.
SHE took 53 photos and 3 videos. It's been hard to just choose a few of them.
Daisy--SHE lives the picture.
Bella our little swimmer.....

 had a fantastic time swimming....



Floating fur

 Our Scottish retriever brought back a cockatoo feather
 which Roxy inspected.
 There were ducks to harass...
Here duckies, here duckies...
 Roxy wades, she always touches the bottom.

The river seems to be cleaner here AND there isn't as much mud.
We stopped by the Sports Ground to run around and dry off--
So NO baths when we got home!
Just dried and brushed.....YES!!!

  9. Your blue sky and swimming pictures make me think warm thoughts. Too cold to think about swimming around here right now. I have never been swimming, but maybe this summer I will get my chance.

  11. OH how beautiful... that is such a perfect place fur you girrrrls to swim. You have it all there... SUN SAND WATER DUCKS and the PRETTY ROCKS AND TREES. PLUS the NO BAFF AFTER!! When I (Frankie Furter) "SWIM" I am like Ernie's Roxy... I keep my feets on the bottom... and my FURS FLOAT just like Bella and Daisy's does!! Hummmmmm does that make ME sort of like FAMILY??? Now ERNIE would like to talk to Roxy.

    HI Foxy Roxy (agent 8787R),
    I think you are REALLY brave to go that far from shore. I am gonna have to tell you this.... I don't like to swim. Frankie does the WADDING thingy... butt I don't even do THAT unless mom forces me to. This is so embarrassing. Now I am all worried that you won't want to be my furend at all. Frankie says that I have to be honest... right from the start. So if you don't want to be my furend beclaws I don't like to swim, I will {{{whine}}}understand. I guess I should also tell you that I eat rabbit poops sometimes, too. And Sticks... I eat those too. AND I eat the Corn that falls outta the bird feeders and sometimes I eat MUD. And once I ate a night crawler. And I sometimes eat the horses poops that are supposed to be fur the Garden. And I am obsessed with LIGHT... any kind of Light butt especially my laser light. I SCREAM like a SQUIRREL over LIGHT. And I always read my OWN Pee Mails.. to EDIT them fur Accuracy and stuffs. And my Ear furs are too short and I don't have very nice Skirt furs either. And now and then I eat stuffie squeakers. And I Poop a LOT.
    Whew... I H O P E that you will still want to be my furend after hearing about all this. I REALLY REALLY hope so.
    Your ERNIE...

  12. That looks like the best place....wash and dry.... all in one visit! I hope your videos are going to be shown. I understand you couldn't play one of my videos last week. I was wondering if this was always the case? If so, then I have to think of another angle for my little munchkins to see me cavorting!
    Have a great day!!

  14. We wish we were swimming with you! Me and Stanley love to swim and we were thinking maybe we all could get Agent 8787E to the beach and let him wade into the little waters and then teach him to swim? He really is a nice guy and he REALLY likes you Agent 8787R! We can't hold that poop thing against him cuz we can personally testify how yummy horse poop can be. Please don't wait too long before answering his letter!

  20. Those pictures are excellent!!!!

    Good job on feather retrieving and especially the duck harassment! :)

  21. The clear river instead of bath option is fine so long as it's voluntary and the water is above 10ºC.

  22. Wow! That swimming hole looks like a lot of fun and the beach, and the ducks to swim after AND no bath when you got home. A Fun Day for all. Like your Mom's pics. All are good but our Mom liked the one with the little tail sticking straight out of the water...
