Zoe - her life and her loves

There is no beach like Cannon Beach!

Well, I did it. I got to ride my first big wave...no, I didn't get to surf per se, but I did get to swim in the ocean and this was a totally new and awesome experience for me.

When my people told me to jump in the car I just assumed we were going for a quick drive to Safeway or maybe even heading to Mega Dogs, but we just kept driving. We drove and we drove and we stopped when I needed to pee, and then we kept driving some more. It seemed like it was a long drive from Seattle to Cannon Beach, OR but I have to say it was well worth it.

At first it was a little strange in this new house, but you should have seen the size of the backyard. It was HUGE! I just ran and ran and ran some more, attacking a few plants and butterflies while I was at it. Then I saw the early signs of a hole that someone else must have tried to dig and I just went for it. This place was great, but the shrubs that lay at the other side of the fence looked too enticing to resist. Just when I thought I was getting close to my exit 'they' turned up. Yeh, my pesky owners seem to have a built in radar that detects when I am having too much fun. Of course, they blocked the hole I was digging, and dragged me in sidebut then we went for a walk, which was way more exciting.

We made it to the sand dunes and then all I could see was a really huge swimming pool. It stretched as far as my eyes could see. It was amazing and I wanted to swim in it. My people wouldn't get rid of that pesky lead, but they did put me on a 30ft lead which meant I could go crazy! My owners kept whining about how cold the water was but that didn't stop me from swimming jumping and splashing for hours. It was awesome!

It was getting late so my people 'dragged' me out of the water. Ok, so I admit that I was a little hesitant to leave especially since I was having so much fun. But after arriving home, having a quick bath and chomping down my favorite meal of Darwins, I was ready for a nap. Actually, I realized that I was totally wiped out and all I wanted to do was sleep (and dream about the ocean) - which I did.
