Sophie Kate Loves The Beach - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We took Sophie Kate on her first beach vacation this weekend to Destin Florida. Sophie Kate had a BLAST!!!

She loves the beach, tolerated the water (her legs got a little wet from a large wave crashing the shore). We spent about an hour and half on the beach where she dig in the sand, made a hole and sat in it (repeat). Tried to dig a moat around me and ruined my friends sandcastle (she noted someone else diggign and promptly went over there and destroyed the starts of a good castle).

Will post pictures later but I highly recommend a beach vacation if possible for your Yorkies. They have fun, it tires them out and can uncover all their fabulous digging skills.

Oh and I forgot to add she got thrown off the beach by the Walton County Sherriff. Some silly law saying you have to be a Service Dog to go to the beach, she was so insulted she pee'd on the beach while he was explaining the law to me hmmmph.

Aw, it sounds too fun!! Mine haven't been to the ocean, but the LOVE the lake.

Getting the sand out of mine after they fetch in the beach/lake is a mess...how were yours with the sand, did a lot end up in their fur?

Oh heck yes, I had to bath her and all the sand she ate (oh yes she did) came out the next day as pure sand which freaked me out a little. I was worried the salt water would make her itch so I gave her a bath right away.

I can't wait Until teddy can visit the beach near my parents, there is a dog friendly area in Huntington Beach ca

Sounds like she had lots of fun

Joel has been to a lake when we were camping and even thought the water was cold I think he enjoyed it, lol

Good Girl!!!

HA HA Take that, you law man!

Zeus has been to the beach once and it was really cold...so I can't tell if he liked it or not. I'm so glad to hear that she enjoyed it. Hopefully you can go to the coast again and find dog-friendly beaches

There are pet friendly beaches. I take mine when ever we go to the beach. They even have swim suits LOL (the girls) The boys go naked. Of course I leave no trash or poo. My dogs are better behaved than my grandchildren. I have been asked to leave a public beach once, but it was NOT posted as not pets allowed. What in the world are they worried about ? Bites ? What about sharks and jelly fish, geepers give me a dog any day .

Just sounds like loads of fun!!!

My two love the beach too! It is so much fun to watch them just ruuuuun... The sand is a big of a pain, but most of it rinses out in the tub.
