Popham Beach Pup Day

Lady Flame, Skyy, Bear Bear, Cola, Toby

What a lovely spring day for a gathering of hounds at Popham Beach! 

We met the Axels with their pups Skyy and Bear Bear. Wade and his sweet old hound, Cola, came along with the Axels. 

The tide was going out, as we walked toward the ocean's edge, and the pups left their paw prints in the sand.

We followed some horses as we meandered toward Fox Island.

The horses were gorgeous and the pups were rather interested in them, as always!  

Wade and Cola posed for photos near the base of Fox Island.

And, then Bille posed with Skyy, Cola, and Bear Bear.

Everyone climbed up Fox Island to look around. 

Up at the top of the island, there are photo ops galore, and it is so pretty.

Eventually, Toby had to come back down to join me as the uneven surfaces of the rocks, as seen here, are a hazard to a blind dog.

After the beach walk, we had lunch in the park before heading back to the cars. Here you see Cola, Skyy, and Bear Bear sitting pretty before heading for home.

Lady Flame and Toby

Wonders will never cease. I think Flame was too tired to growl at Toby which allowed him to lay closer to her than ever before!

And, Toby is sooo spoiled and has us wrapped around his dew claw! We keep him toasty warm under his blankies!

Look at that cute face!

Almost End of Winter Play Date

We have a new photographer for Maine Nature Greyhounds, since I am out of commission for the next 6+ weeks!  Welcome Shannon! Shannon was kind enough to share her photos and video with us for the play date, which we got in before the snowfall started in earnest.

Drew tried to get the pups ramped up for a run-around. 

Sugaree was excited to play, even though she has a corn on one of her feet as well as some muscle issues in her left rear leg. We all love her enthusiasm.
