walking the dog

I went with my friend Skye and her dog "puppy" to the beach to walk her puppy. Puppy is also known as Belly – she was one of two pups Skye had, the other's name was Jelly, get it? (Jelly Belly?) heehee, that was my idea.

We drove over to Seaside and wandered up and down the beach for awhile. Puppy isn't too great on a leash, but once she tires out, she's a sweet little thing and listens fairly well. Other folks on the beach aren't as leash-oriented as they should be, so while Skye had to hold fast to her dog, I was running interference and yelling at dog owners to call their dog away from running straight at us. People!! Dogs on leash!!!

Anyway, we parked at a little park, walked along the beach to the rock/land abutment and then we decided to go up! We hiked to the top (poor Puppy tagged along and was a good sport) and we got to see a great view of Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach from the top of the bluff. We saw a few surfers trying to catch a wave, some folks on a horse ride and just had a great day playing with the dog. Looking forward to walking the dog next time!!
