Open Salon, June 2009, At The Beach

Lulu & Phoebe Unplugged

Rate: 10
When not testing the latest EV autos, Lulu and Phoebe like to travel.  Their recent adventure at Fort Baker, under the Golden Gate Bridge to celebrate the human's getting really old birthday, was as much fun as it could get if you are a dog and get to play endlessly on beaches, eat at restaurant bars, and generally get to explore where really big birds poop.
First, Lulu and Phoebe get a look at the Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin Headlands.  Apparently the treats in front of them are more interesting than one of the modern seven wonders of the planet behind them.
Next, under the bridge, at the beach, Phoebe runs like the wind to catch her ball.  Her enthusiasm for speed often gets her in trouble.   She will skid, turn in the air, and go flying, butt over head, trying to catch the ball.  She can catch.  She just can't stop without the skidding.
Last, a little Blair Witch video of Lulu and Phoebe at the beach.  When being both videographer and ball thrower, something will go awry.  As usual, Phoebe gets the ball and Lulu gets to cheerfully hop right along. The amount of sand on their faces is clearly equal to their joy.

A ball, a beach, a day out in the fresh air with their human with doggie treats. A dog's idea of bliss!

What's a silly red bridge, to all that? =o) Lulu and Phoebe are dogs who are focused on what matters!
Love the pics. Maybe you should drive cross-country with the dogs and blog daily....:)
This makes me really really happy! (and it is no small feat to make people happy) -- love Lulu & phoebe!
thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!! i'm so tired of what is dominating the posts today. i've missed your girls so much!!! i guess it's still cold there because they are wearing their fabulous sweaters. the wonderpups are going naked these days, well, with harnesses and gentle leader, etc. could you just do this once a week, please? i just posted Chelsea Lately parodying the Real Housewives of New Jersey. it's pretty freaking funny. i'll trade L&P for Funny??? love love love and gratitude
Hooray! Finally I click on a post that isn't negative or sad. Lulu and Phoebe are the best. They know that having fun with your best friend is all that matters.
Shiral - you night owl! Thank you for coming by. Yep. The beach is bliss for them, that and food.

Deborah - If we can do France with them, we can certainly do cross country! That would be fun I think. They are great travelers.

suzie - glad to oblige. they make me happy too. thank you!

Teddy - glad you enjoyed this. It was cold at the beach. SF never really gets warm (except maybe this weekend). Coming over to look at Chelsea.

Steve - thanks!

Lisa - Ah, sistah of mine, you saw through the methods of my madness! I wanted to counter the sadness that today brings with some silly L&P just because. Some pics of your cute dog would help too! Glad to see you!
very kyoot. dogs always look blissfully happy at the beach. (Cats...not so much.)
thank you Silk. was hoping the world would come back, but apparently it will take a few days.

I wonder what kind of results we could muster up if we concentrated this hard on economy and health care?
