Beach! Part I

While in Cape Cod, we of course had to visit the beach. I had visions of taking Mickey swimming and splashing in the waves. Turns out there were a couple of problems with my fantasies:

1. It is a little chilly for open water swimming. With highs in the mid 70's it is very pleasant weather, but still a little cold for swimming in a large body of water.
2. Dogs aren't allowed on beaches until the off season, which starts after Labor Day.
3. Mickey doesn't have a strong interest in the water.

We walked down to the community beach near Victor's house in the early morning. No one was around to enforce the "No Dogs Allowed" signs so we walked onto the little sandy strip. Mickey seemed to enjoy the new smells and the feel of sand between his paws, but he always stopped exactly at the waters edge. Not even a little dew claw dipped in the water.

I was thinking: "nice picture at the beach at sunrise"
Mickey was thinking "its kinda chilly what are we doing here again?"

Up next time (Monday), what happens when we go to the same beach with Victor when its a little warmer?
