Running Away to the Coast

As a respite from the heat wave, we drove down to the Oregon Coast with the dogs. Both dogs were very excited to be able to run around like maniacs for the first time in days. Well Mr. N always runs around like a maniac. 


Mr. N and his friend Sage are totally "bros." They even trot in unison.


We found this little wooden structure. Sage is like new beach house! Mr. N thinks the house is lacking in modern conveniences.


Then we ran into one of the beach guardians. A dragon methinks.


Mr. N thinks riding on a dragon is a grave responsibility and should be taken as such.


Three hours into our beach walk, Mr. N is still full of vim and played chase with another dog on the beach.


Uh oh. Mr. N is trapped by the incoming tide (no dogs were harmed in the making of this photo)! I "rescued" him and he went off to solicit sympathy from strangers.


Mr. N is a social butterfly and made friends with random people on the beach and demanded petting and posed for photos.


I had to call him away from all his new friends so we could eat lunch and head home. Where do you and your dogs go to escape the heat?

  2. That looks like lots of fun. The structure must have been pretty big as both you guys looked real small in there!

  7. It looks so beautiful. I love the beach. On our sound, there is a stretch that has structures people have put together with driftwood. I love them and it's nice that everyone works to keep them there instead of takin them down :)

  8. Mr. N is such a social butterfly too! It looks beautiful there. We tend to stick closer to home, but I would love to take the dogs to the ocean one day.
