I invented a new game!

It’s called pluck the leaf off the plant.

Focus. Focus. Focus.

You’re mine, all mine. Mwaaaa! Mwaaaa!

Dinner by the water

Kentmorr Restaurant is a seafood place in Stevensville, Maryland, about 15 minutes from Matapeake Beach.  We specifically chose this place because they are dog friendly.  To our surprise, the food was good!  We will definitely come back here the next time we visit the dog beach. ~ Luke

The restaurant has a private beach in the back, with a tiki bar and live music…it’s a great place to watch the sunset. No dogs allowed but that’s okay.

Lita found a nook to relax and patiently wait for food.

This chihuahua was a good swimmer.  The water was too choppy for him so he tired out really quick.

I wanted to play fetch with this golden lab but he was in his own world.

Lita chilled in the shade…

A little spa treatment to exfoliate the skin with sand.

Let’s rinse it off with fresh water and head to dinner!

Sizzling at the dog beach

It’s been hot in the Washington D.C. area.  The temperature has been averaging 95 degrees Fahrenheit, with a heat index of over 100 degrees this past week.  So heading to the beach was an awesome way to cool off!

Unfortunately, our patience was tested as we sat in the car, stuck in traffic.  It took one hour to drive 5 miles from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Toll Plaza to Kent Island…ARGH!!!!!!!!!  Thank goodness we weren’t heading to the Delaware beaches or Ocean City, Maryland, because it would have been a longer ride.

However, the wait was worth it!  Matapeake Beach was awesome!  We set up our beach towels and picnic blanket near the shade by the trees so Lita and I could cool down away from the sun.

The water was warm but it was also deeper and choppier than the last time we went.  I wore my Big Eddy Float Coat the entire time and showed everyone my swimming abilities.  I swam and swam and swam and swam!  I even dunked my head in the water several times in order to retrieve my tennis ball and frisbee.

We stayed for more than 2 hours before heading to a seafood restaurant for dinner.  Lots of pics were taken so I’ll share them in future blogs.  I hope everyone is staying cool!

The water was deep.  I was doggy paddling until my feet could touch the ground.

7.6.13 006

Then I hippity hopped back onto shore.

7.6.13 004

Only to repeat another game of fetch.

7.6.13 085

Lita did not want to play in the water because the waves were too choppy for her comfort.

7.6.13 079

She begrudgingly got in the water because her mommy wanted to cool her down so she wouldn’t overheat.

4th of July Celebration

I went to a pool party with mommy to celebrate the 4th of July Independence Day holiday.  Although I was allowed to swim in the pool, I did not.  Mommy was in there but no matter how much she tried to get me to jump in, I refused.  I was scared!  We forgot to bring my life jacket so who knows what would have happened if I had it on.  We’ll have to try again next time.  ~ Luke

P.S. – Guess where I am going tomorrow?  The dog beach!!!!! 😀
