Our old poodle Tibby hates the water. Up NOB when I give him a bath you would think that I'm killing him. But it's another thing when he gets on the beach in Bahia Asuncion. I'll put a small bit of wet sand into a water bottle to add some weight and he'll chase it out chest deep into the surf, then come back up and roll in the warm sand.

After a morning of surfing,

A good roll in the sand before an afternoon nap..

Yep, both of them.

We used to fly a kite while camping to keep Mochi's attention.
I say used to because 5 weeks ago we had to put Mo to sleep RIP.

Most heartfelt condolences, Judy.

I've been aware of the Rainbow Bridge poem, but here's the whole website to sooth you in your time of loss:

Sweet puppies

bajajudy - 6-22-2013 at 02:15 PM

Thanks
I hadnt looked at the Rainbow Bridge page in a long time
Sweet thoughts.

Now this will break your heart.
Here is Eta beside Mo's grave. For several weeks she spent a lot of time by the grave and she still goes down and sits there sometimes.

My sympathies to Judy, Jim and Eta. Mo was a beautiful friend.

hell YA! shami the shepherd is a digger and actually dives down to find a shell if you throw it in the water but Cafe only likes to dip her toe toes in the ocean!

sneezerdog - 6-22-2013 at 05:18 PM

Oh Judy and Jaime, so very sorry to hear of Mo's passing, I had been wondering lately how they were doing as they were/are both getting up there in age. I wish I could have made one more trip down to see both of them, oh and I suppose you as well : ) ). Much love was given and taken on both sides, give snarly Eta a pat on the head and some roughhousing from me.

Does your dog enjoy the beach?

Bwana_John - 6-22-2013 at 06:51 PM

Mr Chukarhead loves EVERYTHING about the beach! She likes to dig, swim, surf, dive for shells and rocks, chase the birds, give taxi rides...

She also likes kayaking, and gets mad if you go out paddling without her.

El Vasco hates everything about the beach except being with his Momma, eating fresh sushi, and finding and eating dried up pufferfish(!)

He doesn't like going in the water or swimming (which is good, cause he's got epilepsy), the sand hurts his feet, its hot, there is no shade, you cant drink the water, the bushes are stickery, the waves are scary, its a long drive, there is no big comfy bed... He is a "talker" so he lets you know about this alot.

He does like growling and barking at the soldados at the checkpoints (Se Muerde!), or anyone else that gets too close to his rig. It does make going through the checkpoints a little faster :yes:

Our dog Tito loves the beach, but isn't crazy about the water. His favorite activity in the world is chasing and being chased by other dogs. I can't wait to bring him to Todos Santos.

Any correlations between epilepsy and tetrodotoxin?

He finds um back at the high tide trash line, both spiny and smoothskin, and he scarfs um down before you can get it out of his mouth.

Tetrodotoxin??

durrelllrobert - 6-23-2013 at 06:42 PM

Tetrodotoxin interferes with the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles and causes an increasing paralysis of the muscles of the body

willyAirstream - 6-23-2013 at 08:28 PM

My 2 dogs share everything and love the water.

wessongroup - 6-23-2013 at 08:54 PM

Thanks for sharing ...... they're fun when out being dogs

Kgryfon - 6-25-2013 at 12:07 AM

Love these pics! Especially the one digging himself into a hole!

Paulina - 6-25-2013 at 07:16 AM

Our baja rescue dog "Mooney" doesn't really like going IN the water, but try going ON the water without her, and you've got trouble.The minute she sees a paddle/surf board out she is way ahead of the game....

Mooney makes getting on the board a bit difficult at times...

She is persistent, swimming out a bit if necessary...she's good for my balance skills.

She usually gets her way and goes for a ride.

The same holds true for boat rides...here she is wondering why she can't have her turn...

She's the ultimate surfer girl...

and party girl...

and she rides quads too. She's an all around baja girl.

Lucky dog! :cool:

Thanks P!

I don't have a dog but I like it when a dog adopts me for a beach day. These are Shari and Juan's dogs Cafe and Shami hanging out.

This is not a washed up carcass. It's Cafe relaxing after eating my beef jerky.

Loretana - 6-25-2013 at 06:35 PM

What a dog life!

Paulina - 6-25-2013 at 08:12 PM

Our Baja dog Mooney has a brother dog. He is a Boerboel. His real name is "Carter", but his military check point name is "Toogy" or "Don Tonto".

Toogy loves to chase his ball on the beach. Here they are getting a reminder of the rules...playing hard of hearing and running in the opposite direction is not allowed, nor is dropping the ball next to something dead, rolling in it, and/or scarfing it down.

Unlike my English Mastiff Rhubarb, who LOVED to swim, Toogy only goes out so far before asking for help with his ball. He's kind of a wimp like that.

"Oh Daaad, you're the one who threw it out there in the first place!"

"You're almost there, common dad, you can do it!"

"You got it!"

He uses rocks for pillows. I can't tell if he's not really the sharpest guy, or if he has us all fooled...

He knows enough to cool off in front of the fan on a hot summer night...the look on his face tells it all.

He makes a good butt rest... and window booster seat...

He's as big as a horse and we love him.
