today shari decided to work from home so as part of her break we took both dogs down to the beach. they were antsy and needing some exercise. i have been unable to get bohdan to go down to the sand, but with trillian and shari he felt that he had to keep up. we walked the short walk to the sand and then lay down in the warmth.
trillian would not rest in the sand but instead decided to go down to the water, bohdan needing to keep up with her went down to the water as well. his legs were giving out, i could see that he was having problems keeping himself up.
when we got down to the wet sand he lay down... but decided he needed to check out the water, since that is where trillian was. we got to the waters edge he needed to lay down. shortly after he lay down a big wave came, he was facing the shore and didn't see it coming. he got the shock of submersion, and since i was attached to the other end of the leash got soaked up to my knees.
suede shoes and all.
we slowly made our way back to the car resting in a few spots.
we stopped at the picnic benches and were greated by an off leash dog. this was great for bohdan as he has not had much interaction with dogs since his surgery.
we are home now. he is sandy and damp, but drying off. and he is very tired.
