The Adventures of Miss Luna

Loki was also there with her Dad. He had a sore leg, so he mostly stayed standing in the water cos it felt nice. I don’t blame him, I would stay in the water all day if I could! Here he is with Loki.

I think Loki was a bit scared of me to start with, but by the end of the day, she was playing with me heaps! I loved chasing her…

She could run really fast, and sprayed lots of sand up into my face! Ha – that’s usually what I do to other doggies when they chase me, so I suppose that’s fair.

Look, we’re matching again…

Once Loki decided she wanted to play properly, she was up for bitey chasey games – I love those games!

We look really angry with each other, but we’re just playing.

Body slams are fun too – need another big dog to do it with though.

Raaarrrr!

Yikes! Loki can look scary too when she wants to! I’m outa here!

Loki and me had heaps of fun playing together. Hopefully the next time we meet, she’ll want to play with me straight away, now that we are friends!

Oh by the way, Mum’s been meaning to do a post about going out to see the horsies, so hopefully that won’t be too far away. I get to go out with Mum when she goes riding now, it’s so fun and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Love and licks, Luna xoxo

I love it when I spot Great Danes at the beach who I already know! Like this guy – he’s usually always at the beach hanging out with his big brother (also a big black boy) but this time he was alone with just his Dad. Mum told me later that his big brother was now up in the same place Kaya is. I hope they found each other!

Anyway, I just luuurrrve boys and cos I already knew this one, we started playing right away! Ready, set…

Go!!!

He is a really big boy, he makes me look little! (ok, so I am pretty small for a Dane)

Then, another friend turned up! This time it was Zeta the harlequin Great Dane. We see her quite a bit at the beach with her little brother the English Pointer Zac. There was lots of chasing going on!

Argh! Help, I’m sandwiched!

The other two had to go, but me and Loki kept the game going – check out our matching flying ears!

That’s not all that we had matching. When we finished running around, Mum noticed that I had a slobber string on my nose!

How undignified! Oh well, at least Loki had a matching one. I closed my eyes and pretended I didn’t see it.

Then it was time to play again!

Stay tuned for an epic play session between me and my new friend Loki!

Where I live, winter is a really good time to go to the beach. When we have a really nice clear day with blue skies and no wind, it’s the best place to be!

Especially when there are lots of new doggies to play with! I like the big boy dogs the best.

It can get a bit lonely if there are no other doggies around to play with. When me and Kaya used to come to the beach, we’d just play with each other! But now I have to make new friends every time.

Mum and Dad say that it’s been good for me though, because I have to think for myself and not just follow Kaya everywhere! They said that it’s made me lots more confident – so I guess that’s one good thing!

There are lots of things to do at the beach even without doggy friends anyway – one of my favourites is chasing sticks!

I found one of those super fast doggies – Mum said they are called ‘greyhounds’ – they are great to chase! They are always faster than me though, they can sure run! Mum only got one pic of this one cos he was running so fast, he was out of sight in no time.

Ooh! Is that a potential new friend I spot over there?

Yep, sure is! Us big doggies always seem to spot each other from a long way away, and we always go to say hello!

This is Loki, a Great Dane just like me! Her colour is called ‘merle’ – isn’t her colour pretty? Lots of interesting spots and patches!

I wanted to play chasing games with her.. but I think she was a bit scared of me!

I chased her around a bit…

But then she ran back to her Mum and Dad.

I really liked Loki’s Mum, she was nice and handed me a big shell that I was having trouble picking up – it’s a bit hard without thumbs sometimes.

She also ran around and played with us heaps – I love it when people do that!

Most people are too scared because they think we will knock them over, but Loki’s Mum wasn’t scared at all (probably from playing with Loki – she’s bigger than me!) so she was cool to hang out with!

More beach adventures to come!

Something else I love to do at the beach is digging. Especially when I have a stick and I’ve finished chasing it for a while – I try and bury it so no other doggies can steal it away!

It’s actually harder than it looks, most of the time I end up digging the stick out of the hole and throwing it somewhere behind me. Sometimes it takes me a while to find it again.

When I’m digging, my ears fall down all funny so when I look up again, sometimes they go like this.

Mum and Dad laugh but I don’t think it makes me look funny? Just happy!

Next we decided to walk up to the dunes. On the way, I met a new friend!

Shhh don’t tell Mum and Dad, but I have a bit of a ‘thing’ for big manly male dogs. I love playing and flirting with them! My best doggy friends are always the boys.

Awww where’d he go?

Never mind, onward and upward! To the dunes! Mum likes to take photos up here, cos she can stand lower when she’s taking photos and make it so the big blue sky is behind me. I think it brings out my lovely blue fur, wouldn’t you agree?

The best thing is being released from my poses, so I can race down the dune!

Mum says she must feed me too much kangaroo, cos I am starting to look like one.

I like the dunes too because it means I can stand up nice and high and look over everything that’s happening on the beach. And perve on the boy doggies.

Dad wanted to pose with me so I agreed.

Then Mum wanted a turn too! Wow, how popular am I!

I should start charging! This one’s gotta be worth at least an extra raw egg in my fishy breakfast tomorrow.

Dad held onto the camera and kept taking pictures of me. He’s much better at photo taking now, Mum likes to think it’s her influence but I think it’s just easy to take photos of me cos I’m such a good poser.

After lots of posing, I was kinda over it, so I made sure Dad knew that enough was enough!

Hope you enjoyed my beach adventures! Love and licks, Luna xxxooo
