He had a great time. Didn't want to leave! We had to pick him up and carry him up the steps because he refused to come up to the boardwalk. I think he might've eaten some sand or something he shouldn't have because he had a bit of a tummyache yesterday. Took him to the vet because he was drooling excessively in his sleep. His stool was kind of gritty so the sand might be the culprit. Vet gave him an anti-nausea shot which stopped the drooling and he's on a bland diet for a few days. Other from that, I think he had a good day!

Nothing better than a day at the beach for a hound! Excellent photos

Charlee is beautiful... he's growing so nicely

I love the pawprints in the sand.

My paws and the doggies paws are jealous. We would love to be sinking our toes into sand rather than snow right now. Is it spring yet?

Charlee is quite handsome!

Your telling of the sand eating sounds so, so familiar to me -- my Maggie has a sand fetish -- anything that has sand as a component is fair game. This only started mid-life -- she was about 7 years old when I moved to my current home. The neighborhood was just being built and here and there were small piles of concrete in the road. Maggie actually had a mouthful of concrete before I realized what she was doing! I have since had to ban her from my screened in porch because she eats the sand in between the brick pavers. If I am outside with her and get distracted, she will start licking the sidewalk. Eating/licking this stuff makes her sick -- vomiting/diarrhea but she would go back and do it again in a second.

What great pictures. Charlee is a very good looking boy. I love the intent look on his face in the first picture. Jersey loves the beach. She hates the water but loves all the smells and laying on the sand in the sun.

Hmmm...beach, boardwalk, Pennsylvania...were at the Jersey shore? Or should I say down the shore?

Yup, went to Sunset Beach in Cape May, then headed over to Wildwood. I think Charlee likes Sunset Beach the best since the sand is all pebbles and Cape May diamonds.

Such a handsome boy! I'm really jealous...I was born and raised in south Florida and have only lived in Knoxville for a couple of years...I miss the beach so much!

Charlee is getting to be such a big boy...so handsome too!

We used to go to Wildwood all the time when I was younger. I loved it there. And Seaside Heights and Keansburg (SP??).
