Coronado Dog Beach

I'm just settling in for bed after a looooong afternoon with Mom and Dad on Coronado Island, specifically at Coronado Dog Beach. I've always been a fan of Del Mar's Dog Beach but I also didn't know that there was a dog beach in Coronado. Since Dad just moved down there for work (Coronado, not the beach...) we decided to spend a few hours exploring the area.

Of course I got to chase the ball!

One of the cool things about this dog beach that makes it different than Del Mar is that it's actually a human beach too! People were laying out, relaxing, and enjoying themselves just as much as us dogs!

There's even a dog wash area on your way out, although we didn't take the time to use it. We rushed off to see where Dad works and then got a little food at Miguelito's where they are nice enough to let dogs like me sit with their humans on the patio. They even brought me a nice bowl of water too!

Overall it was a great afternoon and we will definitely be back!

Surf's Up!

Do you remember my post from a few weeks ago when Kayna and I had a photoshoot with Alicia Anthony for an upcoming article? Well we've gone to press! That's right, the media is a-calling and I'M FAMOUS!!!! Ok I don't know if that's totally true but we made it in StubbyDog! You all have USWeekly and People Magazine but in my world, StubbyDog is true celebrity status.

The article is available here, along with a great slideshow of Alicia's pictures, many of which I didn't post to the blog last time.  Alicia also made a cool video which is too good to miss. Even Mom and Dad make an appearance! If nothing else it will put you in the mood to take your pup to the beach. Happy first day of summer! Surf's up!

I love camping!

This past weekend we went out to Lake Hemet {side note: did you know there is a lake in Hemet?} and I had a BLAST chasing the ball, swimming in the lake, and just living the good life. The first night was a bit scary since the winds were blowing like crazy and the tent was swaaaaying but I got to cuddle with Mom and Dad so I can't complain too much. I mean really, what could be better than this?

That one with the bike is for you GGpa Bob!

There's my dad, with our friend Natasha. For a human's perspective on camping don't skip her blog here!

Fiesta Island

I know I've bragged to you all several times about how much I LOVE swimming at dog beach (like here and here.) This weekend Mom and Dad took us to Fiesta Island, a little gem here in San Diego that is completely leash-free. You read that right, my dream come true. I'm not sure what took them so long to bring me here, seeing as how I love to run and I love to swim but hey, better late than never!

A friend of Mom's from Pit Bull Rescue San Diego named Alicia Anthony was asked to take pictures of dogs playing on the beach for upcoming articles and features in StubbyDog. We were happy to oblige! Check out some of the amazing images she captured:

Aren't they great? I particularly love the one of Kayna with the sand on her nose and the one where Dad threw me into the water. Even though I love to swim you can just tell by the look on my face I am panicked!

We had a great time and Alicia captured it perfectly. If you want to seem more of her work check out her site here. I hear she may be adding a page of just her puppy pics soon so keep an eye out!
