I’ve never met a Lab who didn’t love playing at the beach. The combination of water, sticks, sand, other dogs and stinky things to roll in make for a fun-filled afternoon and a happy, sleepy dog who goes to bed early is pretty nice too.

Dogs are so grateful just to be, aren’t they? Your post reminded me of this cute video (it’s short). Shows a dog jumping in the leaves. He looks so happy to be alive. 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdSbhxy1dvU

How cute, what a great video! You’re right, dogs are so grateful to just be in the moment. A good lesson for us humans. 🙂

Great picture. Heidi looks very happy. It is difficult to get a good picture of a black dog. All of our pictures of our black cat, Shadow, never turn out very well. We call him the stealth kitty with a cloaking device.

You’re right, it is hard to get enough light on black animals. Cloaking device is a good description. 🙂 Heidi’s nature is to be happy where ever she is, lucky girl!

I’m glad you like it! She was just tired enough to sit still but not ready to stretch out in the sand. 🙂
