What a girl! A scaredy cat girl. That’s how I describe my sister on her first encounter with the beach.
Mom & dad took a day off to take us on an a new adventure. THE BEACH! We have never been to the beach, seen the ocean, or anything to do with wet sand. I think we were just so excited to be going on an adventure that we really didn’t know what to expect.
It takes about an hour and a half to get to the Surfside Beach where we decided to go. Galveston was pretty messed up from Hurricane Ike so we went west. Since we didn’t want to be on the beach at the height of the day, we left early. Like 6:15 am early! Well actually that was OK we me and my sister. I think mom & dad would have liked to sleep in.
So we leave at the crack of dawn and hit the road. Traffic was quite good on Friday. We think maybe a lot of people took off to go shopping. Some tax free thing. There were no tax free dog treats so, frankly, we didn’t care! When we reached the beach, mom woke us up to get us ready for our first experience with the beach. What? Of course we were sleeping. It is one of our top 5 favorite things to do!
Leashes on. Beach here we come… and this is where my sister became a big baby! Yeah, you heard me. She definitely did not like the beach, sand, ocean…. I don’t get it. It was a little different but hey, mom & dad drove us all the way to the beach and she wanted to get back in the car. What up with that?? Dad even captured a few pictures of our “hour” on the beach!
Here’s mom walking us on the beach.
Looks like Roux want to get away from the water, huh?
Yep, I was right. Scaredy cat she is.

All this walking makes me thirsty.
There you have it. My side of the beach story. You can bet Roux tells the story differently. Woof!
