I took Pepper in the car (as she has to learn to travel) to see the Minions. They were fine and afterwards as her reward, I took her to the beach to explore.
She was keen as mustard.
And thought the beach was BRILLIANT!
To start with, I kept Pepper on the lead as I was not sure about her recall.
There were so many distractions.
Everything had to be explored.
We pretty much had the beach to ourselves.
The trouble is Pepper is almost totally invisible in any background (my next dog will be fluorescent, I have promised myself).
More exploring. This was Pepper’s walk so I let her do what she wanted.
And then we met a friend. They were my almost-neighbours and, after some consultation, we agreed to let our dogs of their leads to play.
Pepper was totally smitten but she behaved much better. She had nice manners and, although besotted by a bigger dog, she didn’t annoy. A small someone is going to sleep well tonight and probably me!
Oh what fun pics of Pepper at the beach. Did she ever dip her toes in the water? She’s sure learning a lot in a short amount of time. Bet you’ll sleep well tonight too!
Maybe Pepper needs a fluorescent color or a doggy safety vest! (High Viz – is that what you call that in the UK?)
It’s amazing how camouflaged mottled brown & black creatures are. I had a brown tabby tortoiseshell cat & when she was a kitten I took black & white pictures of her in which she was very difficult to see amidst the flora of just our backyard!
