Beach Doods

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

We hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend....we did. We went to the beach...it was Murph's first time there. He likes it as much as I do. There were so many things to do and lots of humans to play with us. Here are our favorite things about the beach...

-Digging in the sand....it's the best, and nobody yells at us and says "no". We got to be filthy all weekend, with no baths! Yesterday though, Mom made us go to the groomers...now we're all clean again. We like dirty better. We dug giant holes, and Mom said we were "digging to China". We're not too sure what that means. Here's Murph...he's trying to hear "China".

I met a girl. Yes, she is so beautiful. She's a Cocker Spaniel, and she's the same color as me. I learned how to open the screen door by myself and sneak out to go next door to see her. I think she really likes me too. Mom didn't even yell at me for sneaking out. Murphy couldn't figure out how to do it, and he was getting pretty mad (he's not as smart as me). I really miss my girlfriend. I guess it was just a weekend fling.

There were tons of kids at our house all weekend. They're all pretty short and their faces taste delicious because there's candy and popsicle "juice" all over them. We didn't get yelled at for licking them, but we couldn't lick the baby. He's real little, and we were only allowed to lick his feet. He laughs like crazy when we do that. All weekend we were trying to get to the Oreo cookies. Mom kept them in the high cabinet, so we couldn't reach. We were waiting for her to give them to the kids so we could get all the crumbs....then she told them they could only have them outside because they're chocolate.....we were so bummed.

Murph kept getting tired and having to take naps...he's still a baby. Here he is on the porch, just chillin....

We didn't get to play in the ocean this time...Mom thought it was too cold right now. We're going back for two weeks this Summer, and then we'll be able to go swimming. We can't wait.

We like the beds at the beach. They're not high like Mom & Dad's bed at home. We could both jump right up on the beach bed....no problem. One night when it was really dark we both jumped up. Mom was sure surprised...she was saying "get off". Something about it being 4 in the morning. So???

At the beach we get to lay on the couch. Mom thinks it's okay because she says it's "pleather" (what???) and she can clean it. Murph and I love pleather....we want our couches at home to be made of that stuff so we can get up on them whenever we want. Mom says no pleather! Why not? Here we are sleeping on the beach pleather couch...notice Murph is "hogging" the pillow. He "hogs" everything! I really don't care though, because I had a girlfriend and that's much better than a pillow.

So that's our beach story, Doodle buddies. Have a great week! Love, Guinness (and Murph too).

Guinness - as much as we love your blogs, I'm not going to let Callie read this one. There is no beach for her to go to around here and I don't want her to know about this wonderful option yet (she also doesn't know that there are mommies who don't work all day, or that one can drink out of a toilet).

It looks like y'all had a WONDERFUL time!!!!!

I was at the beach on Sunday but my mom says she's not taking me back there for the rest of the summer! I don't understand what I did wrong....ok, I realize that while she was putting all that white, creamy stuff on I shouldn't have jumped into her lap and I realize her friend didn't like it when I'd get out of the water, roll in the sand, and then get up nice and close to the two humans and SHAKE all that sand off myself but really, isn't that what I'm supposed to do at the beach? I don't see why they would want to READ and RELAX when they can throw the ball for me, non-stop, for hours and hours...I especially love it when they throw it into the water because then it gets nice and sandy...I try to get it even more sandy by rolling it in the sand and burying it and digging it back up and then waiting until my mom's eyes are closed before dropping it back in her lap. I don't think humans like sand as much as I do! I bet Guinness and Murphy love the sand!

Guinness, you and Murph are two lucky doodles! I wish I had a beach house! I've never even been to the beach! It looks like so much fun! I don't like to dig, but I love to get dirty, and I'll bet sand would realllly drive my mom crazy!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Dood what a fun weekend!!! Mom says we are not going to the beach until Christmas - she says Dad's family lives there and T&I both get to go this year. I have heard it is fun - Taquito told me.

Wow! What a great weekend! I want my mom to take me to the beach, but there aren't really any close by.

WE are very Jealous Guinness and Murphy! The beach is our absolute favorite place to play. It looks like you had a fantastic time :) Buddy taught me on our first outing together how to dig in the sand and we had so much fun. Mom has a photo so very similiar to your last one of you guys on the couch, we always sleep really well after we are done playing all day too. So glad you enjoyed your holiday weekend, we only got to go to the park, but in a Month we get to visit the beaches of Santa Barbara, so look out!!!!!!
