This is part two of this story!
So you already saw a preview of my little beach in the last instalment. It’s the place Mum takes me walking to in the mornings before she has to go to work, it’s just down the road from where she lives, pretty handy huh! Because it’s a beach (although quite a small one) we can do all the fun stuff we get to do on the big beaches we go to on weekends. One of my favourite things is chasing sticks!

Mum throws them out into the water for me and I swim out and get them, then run back. I like it when Mum pretends to chase me (pretends, cos we both know she could never catch me if I really tried to get away) and I prance around thinking I’m pretty special.
Up the end of the little beach is a tree that Mum and I like to sit under for a while sometimes. It’s quite peaceful!

I look out over the water and watch the birdies and the people in boats cruising past.

There’s a pretty good view from there over to the big tall buildings of places called Main Beach and Surfers Paradise.

I don’t care so much about that though. I care more about…..
ZOOMIEEEESSSS!!!

There’s something awesome about the sand over near the wall at the end of the beach. It’s so soft, and deep, and SQUISHY! Every time I walk on it, I just feel the urge to go totally silly!!

Yaaahhhh!!!



After zoomies always comes digging. Digging is great – Mum lets me do it and even tells me “Dig dig dig, Luna!” to make me dig faster! If you’re wondering, at home I know I’m not allowed to dig holes in the garden, but at the beach, it’s on!

I judge how well I’ve dug a hole by how much sand I get all over the place, all over me, all over my face and if possible, all over Mum too if she stands too close! Afterwards I like to go have a rinse off in the water.

And what better way to rinse off than fetching sticks again!

Another thing I love about our little beach is the playground. Now I know this is usually for human kiddies, but there are never any there, so Mum lets me play on the the play equipment! This spinning thing is kinda fun, but makes me a bit dizzy sometimes.

I like jumping up on the platforms, sometimes it takes me a couple of goes though!

I always get up there eventually! I like being up high.

My favourite thing however is to go down the slide. I love slippery slides, always have!

Eventually though, it’s time to leave the little beach and walk home. I take one last longing look over the water…

Then it’s off back home again along the bike path. Mum decided to get a bit creative with the early morning shadows!

She decided the light was so pretty, she wanted to try and get some nice photos of me and her. Mother and doggy-daughter pics! She set me up on the hill sitting nicely (I’m good at that), set the camera up down the hill a bit, pressed some buttons then ran back to where I was sitting! Quite frankly I thought she could do a better job of the process and was telling her so, when the camera took the picture.

Mum told me to shush because she knew what she was doing, and we had another go! I tried for my best ‘looking into the distance trying to look interesting’ pose. It was good enough, apparently.

Back home, I always head to my water bowl for a big long drink. Going to the beach is thirsty work! Especially when you accidentally eat lots of sand and seawater.

Before I’m allowed inside, Mum makes sure I am dry and have as much sand off me as possible. She also likes to make a fool out of me by hanging a big pink towel over my back like a horse rug. Thanks Mum, super funny joke. Can I have my breakfast now?

I hope you enjoyed our two part morning walk adventure! Coming up in the future (hopefully soon!) will be the rest of Kaya’s memorial post, plus a fun modelling adventure with me at the surf beach! And oh, oh! I nearly forgot! Since Mum is such a Facebook Addict social networking expert, she’s started up my very own Facebook page! How exciting! It will link to all my blog posts here (don’t worry, it’s not replacing the blog) and will be a place where Mum can put random photos and videos that don’t always make it to the blog. Make sure you become a fan at Luna the Great Dane today!
