Very long beach walk
We have started to take the girls in the opposite direction ( south ) from the RV Park. The decision was based on them having been trained ( going towards the rocks ) to run and come back to us repeatedly. So Colin started taking them on his own for a few times successfully. I have gone with them the last three days. The girls are being so very good.
Colin’s old work shoes have become soaked and sand encrusted.
So he finally started wearing his waterproof Keens. They are now wet and sand encrusted. I walk barefoot.
I can’t explain just how much these two love the beach. One paw out of eight on the sand.
They run and they run.
Are these twins, look at their identical movements?
So to date they have run and eventually turned around. Today they ran and ran and ran out of sight. Yes right around that curve to the right. We tried to catch up, I could go no further due to hip pain, Colin kept going and eventually they turned back and he caught them. They must have run at least two miles, no idea how much further – maybe three but we could not see them. Tonight they are exhausted and not moving at all.
Back to our March 14th walk.
Luna and her family were going past on their golf cart and Luna jumped put to play with the girls for a bit.
Lovely waves.
Turning them towards home.
Today was the first day that they reverted back to their wild running. We were wondering if they would even turn around and back to us. I was thinking about turning back and getting someone with an ATV to help us. It eventually worked out but we were stressed and both girls were exhausted from too much activity.
Two night ago, almost full moon.

The girls are sure going to miss that beach! Probably about as much as the two of you are going to miss those sunsets.
I know they will be depressed as soon as we drive away. As to us, much as we would prefer to linger, is it time to go. Medical appointment and such. We really are trying to get out fence finished that we began over a year ago.
Was wondering if you use a bullhorn , or perhaps a microphone and loudspeaker to call them back? he he he he he :))
I wish that would work. They aren’t so great on ‘come’ when they are running wild.
Looks like so much fun! That last photo should be framed.
love reading your blog
I always love to hear for you. It really was a very fun day.
Wondering… when they go back home, will they associate the lake with the beach & try to run on its shore ? 🙁
My regards: Lucy.
We don’t have a shore on our lake so there is no danger of that happening. There is just a small pebble beach area to launch our canoe and kayaks.
Third picture from top of the Girls – they are in perfect harmony; last two photo should be framed and hung together. Thanks for sharing such lovely photos
You are most welcome mi amiga.
That would have been a scary day! I’m glad it all worked out.
Yes it was and I think way too much running for the girls. We kept them quiet today.
They are having so much fun for sure they will miss the beach! Glad they came back for you…being crazy kids! Django did that too me too!
