An afternoon at Polaris Point

There is only one beach on base that allows dogs and that is Polaris Point. Typically our outings are to other areas and this means that Samai gets to stay home guarding the house sleeping in the house. But, every now and then a trip to the beach includes the whole family. That means Samai gets to join in on the fun too. 

She only needs to be asked once if she wants to go to the "Beach". She is the first in the jeep and ready to go. Forget about packing the towels, toys and water. She wants to go NOW! This equates to a two year old ready to go to the candy store. A plus here,  she doesn't ask "are we there yet" every two minutes.

We started taking Samai to the beach as soon as we got her as a pup. She learned to swim quickly but has always had a healthy dose of fear, not wanting to go to far from the shore but she has always loved the water. I think she has finally caught on that drinking the water isn't a smart idea and recently she loves to wipe her face in a towel to get the salt out of her eyes.

Our avid blog followers know that Phil has taught her to play frisbee. You can read here. She has become quite the catcher even in water. Her new aqua frisbee which floats also makes it more fun for her to catch because she swallows less water.

With a tuckered out pup it's time to go home and get a bath. Best of all she smells good and is ready to nap the afternoon away.
