Beach 1, Dogs 0



Today the husband and I decided we would take the dogs for a walk. We put their sweaters on them and headed towards the beach. It is about a 10 minute walk from our house to the beach. Instead of going on the private beach we walked down a bit to the public beach area.

We were surprised to find families and children down on the beach. It is chilly here this time of the year in New England. There were people walking out on the sand bar and seagulls searching for nibbles. If you look in the picture to the right you can see a tiny island with trees. Sadly we didn't make it out to the island. We were out on the beach sniffing away enjoying ourselves when the husband says to me "we're getting kicked out". Sure enough there was a beach patrolman working his way to us to explain dogs are not allowed on the beach, it is a state law. They can be in the "park area" only if they are on a leash that does not exceed seven feet. Oh well. We headed back home, and weren't able to let Roxy & Dozer explore the little island. We did have fun while our paws were in the sand.
