Beach Fun with Roxy

Today we decided to head out to the beach on base and see if Roxy could be trusted off leash, and figure out if she knows how to swim. So first we headed out the door. Then we forgot a pacifer, back in I went. Then we forgot a baby hat and extra onesie...you get the idea! Many minutes later, we arrived at the base and it was a beautiful sunny day. Blake was content in his baby Bjorn, and we walked the trail, spotting a plethora of baby bunnies and wild roses growing all over. It was beautiful, and smelled so summery! We headed down to the beach -which was sparsely populated. And Roxy got crazy, she pulled and jumped all over the driftwood... we were getting less sure of our decision to unleash her..but we figured that at least we could see her for miles if she took off. So I took Blake, and Steve let her go. She ran in little circles first, plowing through the sand. Then he started throwing a stick for her, and she LOVED it! She galloped through the water and went out as far as she needed to to retrieve her beloved stick. When she came back to shore,she did a few victory laps in the sand before giving it back to Steve. It was so cute! Blake had a good time too, and fell asleep on the trail back to the car. The only downside to our new hobby, is our dog smells. :)
Oh and we met another boxer on the beach named Roxy!
