Guinness's Beach Adventure!

Kevin's family rented a dog-friendly house down the shore for Easter weekend, and they invited me, Kevin, and Guinness to join them!  We were so excited to take Guinness to the beach for his first time ever seeing the ocean! Our little guy is a bit of a chicken though, so we thought maybe he'd be a little afraid of the ocean/waves/sounds, but NOPE!!  He absolutely loved the beach and the ocean. He did keep trying to drink the ocean water, but I don't think he actually swallowed much (he didn't get sick, so that's a good sign!). 

This was him figuring out the wet sand! I think it was a bit confusing for him. 

Checking out the ocean for the first time! 

Cautiously approaching it... 

A little anxious... 

 

Loving it!! 

 And he was having a blast on the beach when he discovered he could dig holes in the sand! 

Here's a funny picture I got of his face when he was shaking the water off his fur. 

Mook (Kevin's sister) took this picture on Day 2!  He was having so much fun running on the beach! 

Such a cute and happy boy!

Gotta love that sand all over his snout! 

The only bummer of the  weekend is that we discovered that poor Guinness is not good at sleeping in a house full of people... He was way too stressed about all of the noises from people moving on the floors above him and below him. He's SUCH a guard dog, and he couldn't seem to relax during the nights. He'd bark or growl anytime he heard noises, so Kevin and I didn't get much sleep either (we had Guinness in our room).  We had a GREAT time, but the lack of sleep for all 3 of us was a bummer for sure. 

Sunset from the balcony! Guinness LOVED hanging out on the balcony! 

And when we arrived back at our house on Sunday, we saw Spring everywhere! Our plum tree in our front yard had tons of pretty pink blossoms! And our daffodils in our yard have started to bloom too.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend!!
